removing items

I thought I was the only one. I have products which go out of stock for a long time (yearly releases of limited edition drinks for example). I want to keep the product information around, but don’t want to see it in my inventory reports when ordering, and etc. Archiving should REALLY archive it somewhere hidden so that any info is accessible when un-archived. If we wanted to not have it show up for sale, we have the “Inactive” mode for products…so “Archive” should serve its actual purpose and actually archive my items.
