I object, mildy.  On the following grounds:
 1. people refer to their "to-do lists" and not their "task lists" (at \
least in the USA)  2. karm is a "task tracker".  I don't think of to-dos as \
                work you need to keep track of time for
     if korg starts talking about tasks, will users expect tighter \
integration between karm and korg (maybe they should expect that?)  3. why \
go through all the work to change?  will we need to change all the code \
comments and classes too?
