This will be a breaking change for some, but it's meant well -- the current behaviour of special handling taxonomy pages is confusing and less flexible than it could be.

Currently, when we draft a taxonomy page (or e.g. mark it to be published in the future or it's expired):

categories/_index.md:

---
title: "The Categories"
draft: true
---

Content.

We hide the entire tree from /categories and down.

The original intent/semantics of draft was to delay publishing of that particular page/content, so with this change we make kind=taxonomy work the same as sections. So, we say:

• For regular pages (leaf nodes) and term pages, the Page it's just removed/ignored.
• For home, section, taxonomy
  • we keep the Page node to make the page tree fully navigable.
  • the Page is not rendered and not in any page collection.
  • but you can reach it with site.GetPage (and the taxonomy in site.Taxonomies).
