I was disagreeing with your statement that the main program is the master of library-level tasks.  Didn't matter in your example, but I could probably gin up an example.  Hmm.  Something with Ada.Text_IO.File_Types and reassignment of Current_Output? I usually keep the main program around to print out a message when the program completes successfully, but that's personal style.

You don't get my point. Randy said, when the main exits, the env task completes, and that's not true as my example shows.
