Isn't this sort of anti-GTD? Shouldn't the response here be 'you need to break it down into smaller actions', not 'complicate the system/software'?

I think this request is incompatible with GTD, A general rule is to break down your bigger tasks in subtasks that will take max 1-2 hours. I use 1h limit. Smaller tasks are easier to track and manage. People deffer bigger tasks many times.

I agree.
