I am jumping in a little late here.

Overall I agree with the proposal to push decision making on what/how to
query in the query layer.

For point 5 from above, I'm slightly in favor of having a new method,
"standbyMetadataForKey()" or something similar.
Because even if we return all tasks in one list, the user will still have
to perform some filtering to separate the different tasks, so I don't feel
making two calls is a burden, and IMHO makes things more transparent for
the user.
If the final vote is for using an "isActive" field, I'm good with that as
well.

Just my 2 cents.
