I suspect that less than 25% of our users use tex. It could conceivably fail the requirement that 90% of our users know what the task is from its short description. Moreover, "tex" is not really a task. "typesetting" or "word processing" or the like would be, but these and the desktop task would have significant overlap, which I prefer to avoid. tex is also not appropriate to be in a task because anyone who wants tex knows they want tex, and does not want to bumble around selecting ill-defined tasks (like "word processing") and hope that they get tex. Instead, they want to manually select their packages, and I expect them to do so. Tasks are for people who know what task they want to do, but are not very picky about the tools the system chooses to do it. -- see shy jo
