That makes sense to me.

It seems like the carrying-over behaviour for Ubuntu is not quite
perfect at the moment anyhow: fairly often bugs that aren't fixed in a
particular series don't want to be automatically carried over, because
there is a good chance they are fixed upstream.  Many of them are bulk
set to incomplete.

There are other simplifications that I think would probably improve
the user model more though, like unifying fixreleased and
fixcommitted, or confirmed and triaged, or various other old bugs.
One reason I think they would have a higher payoff is that everybody
dealing with bugs hits them, whereas using multiple tasks is a more
advanced use.
