I do not think that the effort is really moot since there is no code yet
(and nobody volunteered to code this - I for myself feel not really able
to since I'm lacking the biological background). So for the moment we
need to rely on manual editing.

Tasks pages are rebuild twice per day and after a change of the tasks
(+30min or so). So this should not last that long and the latest version
is from

(see bottom line of the page).
However, I'm not really sure whether your change is that lucky.
*Currently* the idea behind the tasks pages is:
bio: Dump *everything* related to bioinformatics in here
Metapackage is created
bio-ngs: List programs related to NGS ask task in the web
**NO** Metapackage is created
bio-phylogeny: List phylogeny related programs as task in the web
**NO** Metapackage is created
cloud: Everything from bio that has no GUI
Metapackage is created
Your change changes the philosophy behind bio and might make people
wondering why all those NGS related packages might have vanished.
Moreover there is no install method any more to install NGS packages
(at least if we would render metapackages from the current state).
That's why I'm tempted to restore the old bio task with all packages
included - at least as long as we have a better solution.
What do you think?
Kind regards
Andreas.
