I'm in agreement with this. Anyone else care to share opinions? Does
anyone have a reason for not to use planner-id?

As an alternative, we could always add the code to planner-id, or make
planner-multiple.el which required planner-id... However, I'm more in
favour of the integration, simply because I suggest that this is a core
implementation decision not an extra feature.

I'm not sure that this is a 'project management' feature... I would
describe it as more of a 'freeing planner from the arbitrary constraint
of one plan-page' feature. I don't believe it contradicts the (very
valid) concerns expressed elsewhere on this list of making planner too
feature-heavy.
