Maybe you're right. If a source supports rollback for sequential tasks,
then that might mean it has to support rollback for concurrent tasks. I was
originally thinking of a case like JDBC without transactions. So an insert
actually creates the rows and rolling back concurrent tasks would delete rows
from the other task. But in that case, inserts are idempotent so it wouldn't
matter. I'm not sure if there's a case where you can (or would) implement
rolling back, but can't handle concurrency. Lets just leave it until someone
has a use case for it.
