Agreed.

Agreed. I was going with the flow of your usage. I do not consider them
equivalent. In a project management context, components are deliverable
items and tasks are the measurable units of work needed to create the
deliverables.

This is the least of it's limitations in terms of what the requirements
imply you need.

Yes, I know. I fixed the code that implements this back in 2002. IAC,
this is configurable.

Dreams are nice. There will always be a development system. The question
is how much, if any, of the details the tool will expose to the developer.
Lynn's goal appears to be for the development system to be essentially
black box.

Oh well, we will get there some day.
