Well, it depends how/if you want to handle the possibility of, say, the "web-server" task using apache in woody, and say, boa in woody+1. Should upgrading the task move you over to boa? Should it give you the opportunity to do so? Likewise if packages get added, or removed? > It's not really possible to "remove" a task at present.

Unless something else you've got installed depends on them too. Someone (and it won't be me :) will probably want to think about these things after woody. But it doesn't much matter at the moment.
