Why there is a need for additional tasks running before regular tasks? Can't we do regular fetch/unpack/patch for the root item, then run fetch_vendor_dependencies, unpack_vendor_dependencies, patch_vendor_dependencies? I see that others expressed dislike for any additional tasks in principle, but I don't think that can be avoided? You can't know what else needs to be fetched until the root item is unpacked and inspected. I'm ok with that if the additional tasks are clearly named, and implementations are short, sweet and obvious. Alex
