Remove qualifying tasks from Workload Balancer when project status is set to DEAD or ON HOLD

I would like there to be a global Workload Balancer setting that automatically hides ON HOLD or DEAD projects without applying status-based filter criteria or needing to update the project tasks so they don’t qualify. 

Similar to the how completed work can be removed from the Workload Balancer through the Show completed work setting, it would be ideal if there was a Show Dead or On Hold work setting that could be toggled off once in settings rather than having to add criteria [Project: Status -- Does not equal -- Dead, On Hold] to all Workload Balancer active project filters to exclude these projects. 

USE CASE: When an in-flight project is cancelled or put on hold, setting its status to DEAD or ON HOLD allows the Project Owner to freeze the project where it was in its progress without having to complete or clear the qualifying tasks to remove them from showing in the Workload Balancer. That way if the project happens to come back to life down the line, the remaining tasks are still set up with assignments, durations, and planned hours.
