> Why was task management ever added?

Raymond published a "joinable" queue class as a recipe here:

http://code.activestate.com/recipes/475160-taskqueue/

and later folded it into the standard Python queue.  So the usual answer 
applies:  "it was easy to add and sometimes useful, so it seemed like a good 
idea at the time" ;-)
