A second reason why Task.cancel() seems to be an incomplete replacement: Task.set_exception() and Task.set_result() both give you a way to unconditionally end a task. With cancel() though, the docs say, "Task.cancel() does not guarantee that the Task will be cancelled." [1] The reason you might want to unconditionally end a task is if e.g. you already called Task.cancel() and it is still running after waiting a certain amount of time.
