Being able to pause a recurring task would be simpler ... and harder to forget.

Something like

task add due:... wait:... pause:... Some task. task 1 modify pause:(same as due or wait)

I'm not sure how an indefinite pause would be done though.

What's the use case? Is it something like "Going away for a month, pause the recurring weekly task to mow the lawn"?

@pbeckingham that seems like a good use case

Seems achievable with #203, instead of the pause, the last recurring instance would be left idle over holiday and new instance is only created after (post pause) completion. (And there's a hooks solution.)
