You'd think someone would report such things if they cared... I use it. It's less work to run it and then clean up the things I don't like, than to try to do all the prettying, without missing anything, by myself. It does handle task types - it's "protected" that it doesn't understand, but changing that word to "package", then changing back, is pretty simple. Sorry if I never reported the "protected" problem.
