Hidden comments - we just unpublish them (waiting for a better solution).

This content type changer looks interesting, though i have some concerns:
- its a new module. Will it last the test of time? I have been caught 
out before when a site becomes dependent on a 3rd party module, and the 
maintainer quits, and there is no upgrade path for future versions of 
drupal.

- The main problems i have with using a category for hidden stories is 
that it doesn't hide it from the search, archive or calendar (event) 
modules. Will using a seperate content type achieve this?
