Hi Vincent, Did you guys ever find a way to "run this role but only those tasks who have the following tags. That way you don't need to specify them on the command line". It seems that at one point Michael DeHaan said it below that this is what tags already do but i wasnt able to get it to work. And the suggestion for breaking things into multiple roles and uses dependencies does not really apply to what i want to do.
