I support David on this one. I think we have better ways to spend our development resources than to pick up some dead code and port it to QML. My favorite example is IconTasks which is a huge framework on how to build a tasks applet. It copies Unity way too much that it should be something we provide and I think our development resources are better spent making the default tasks applet work kick ass (note with that I do not mean that we should merge the bazillion of options from icon tasks.).
