DEFAULT_TASK_PROVIDER is good idea for me. I would like to merge it with 
my proposal change to task-base (adding wifi/bt for pcmcia/usbhost/pci 
devices) in a way that we will have:

- task-boot
- task-base
- task-base-extended (wifi/bt added for pcmcia/usbhost/pci machines)

This way we will be able to create images with wifi/bt support for PDA 
with pcmcia but no internal wifi/bt by using task-base-extended as 
DEFAULT_TASK_PROVIDER (set in distro config) and devices with smaller 
amount of space for rootfs will get task-base so users will be free to 
install extra stuff.

What do you think?
