I think unifying Tasks & the Distributed Annex would be great. I would like to see everything just go the way of Tasks, local and distributed. Maybe the distributed Tasks could be limited to only using rendezvous. That way you could avoid having to deal with shared state. Just a thought. Anyone else have any ideas about this? Kevin Hostelley
