I agree, although I'd like to work out some nomenclature.  We have
"static" posts and "hidden" categories going around.  I think these all
boil down to being "standalone".  That is, exclude me from the regular
lists, I'll do my own thing.  This is simply an "exclude me" flag.  If
we integrate this, I'd like to look at the big picture of what people
are doing with static and hidden and see where the common ground and
terminology lies.  I think most of these boil down to "standalone", but
I have looked all of the related plugins and hacks yet.
