Its retained in case someone, somewhere, had subclassed the task, or
created a cvs task and cast it to tasks.Cvs.
In OSS code there is no real privacy of implementation, and we have to
try and maintain the appearance of stability in the moderately public
areas. That doesnt mean that we cant change things, but we have to
assume that people use our tasks programatically as well as in XML and
so cannot
-remove existing tasks
-remove existing setter methods. If you want to change the type of a
setter (e.g String -> Integer), you need to retain the old one *after*
the new one.
Sorry, didn't understand, but thanks for explaining, OSS is certainly
new to me as something to work on as opposed to with.
