Go right ahead.

> i don't like the Task class, i think it is fundamentally wrongly designed. i suggest as a workaround for now, we just don't call cancel.stop, and instead use another local boolean variable "cancelled" that the updatelistener sets to true, and when the cancel routine is executed, we need an if-clause reading the cancelled state.

Sure, if you feel better about that. I don't care how it's fixed, just 
/that/ it gets fixed.

(I find the comment about Task somewhat amusing. One could also say, 
cars are fundamentally wrongly designed, but sometimes you still have to 
take a taxi.)
