hmm, if a setting like "*NetLoadModule tasks-current" isn't going to be used in themes (I know I wouldn't use it, I can't imagine what would happen to my old themes if they automatically loaded new versions of the modules they use ;) then how much of an audience is there for such functionality?

personally of course, i'm happy with NLM as is... all of you can continue making feature requests, i for one am going to ally myself with the forces of inertia, stand against the universe and try not to contribute to the increase of entropy. (lol, talk about a lost cause. ;)
