But you are changing the contract of <sequential/>.
If I have a task that inherints from Sequential (under the old contract)
now I may get some wird unexpected behavior I never asked for.

There are plenty of tasks out there that inherit from sequential
because sequential was the most innocuous task out there is just
did execution delegation and nothing else. Not it would
start making decisions their task were never designed to do.
