[PS] operational change to support not messing things up (any more)

[Rachel Silber]

Until we get the schedule kind of firmed up, and everyone more familiar with
this year's interesting constraints, we really need a way to mark certain
items as special items that should only be changed with the permission of
the programming divhead.

My suggestion is to add a prefix to all the relevant titles.  I would say
that that prefix could be GOH, but it should also be put on the 501st panels
and *possibly* on panels that have special requirements.   Would the letters
DHO (for DivHeadOnly) be clear enough?  Or DNM (Do Not Move)?

Zambia folks, I am making a feature request for a checkbox that puts this
prefix (whatever we decide it is) into a title field in the reports and
operational screens but doesn't change the title in the database so we can
give clean data to pubs.  Likely that's not something we can do Right Now,
but for the next few weeks until pubs is the major database consumer it
seems reasonable for us to change the data.

Any comments on this idea?
