This idea got rejected from the mdv people with the argument that there are already too many task metapackages. It was difficult to get a common opinion on it by the musicians anyway, but finally the most useful division would be a bit in the sense of the current task-sound-studio, i.e. use cases: Audio recording, Audio synthesis and composing, live tools (loopers, etc..), sounds (soundfonts in particular which are large data files), video?.

IMHO the most important thing is to make a basic package that works.
The user can then add other things they like.  As things are, it is very
difficult for an ordinary mortal to make a working sound system by
installing individual packages.
