Drifting off topic, but ... Yes, and I've even from time to time considered taking the definition of a task ID out of the hands of the tasking layers and defining it in the common code as an int(64). That type doesn't seem unreasonable for the usage and certainly wouldn't create a problem for the existing tasking layers, since effectively it's what they're all defining it as anyway!
