One feature that I have seen nowhere is the ability to define a task or =
resource as interruptable or non-interruptable.  Certainly software folk =
are familiar with these concepts, but automatic scheduling software that =
I am aware of is not.

Interruptable tasks and resources could (should) also have start-up =
and/or shut-down penalties associated with them!!!

What do you think?
