[Casper] Feature Request - Tracking Decommissioned Machines

More and more Casper is also becoming a tool to track all of our  
computer assets.  Eventually a computer gets too old for us to use or  
is deemed not repairable.  In our old inventory system (Which we are  
still running simultaneously as well.) we can change the  
classification of these machines to "decommissioned".   For  
accounting, historical and work order purposes we track those machines  
for a time even after they are sent off to recycling. It would be  
great if Casper had some sort of classification for this so that you  
could leave it in inventory but not take up a license (managed or  
unmanaged.) I'm not sure how practical this would be, but it would be  
handy for us. These decommissioned assets would not need much  
information on them.  Just asset number, make and model and serial  
number. Maybe some date information. Just bare bones basics. I'm not  
sure if this is something anyone else would use or not but it would be  
very handy for us.
