My only objection here is that I think --trace to trace everything is a bad default. I think most people want to trace task execution by default and then selectively opt-in for more verbosity. I would go for --trace=all to enable everything. My other assumption is that we would go and update the documentation to clearly identify what are the possible trace values, both as reference for all values and in each relevant sections for task-specific values. (I'm volunteering for this too). alex
