I would ordinarily balk at the very mention of inheritance and yell "COMPOSITION!" very loudly in your face. But oddly, I'm not completely sickened by what you say. But my concern, which is always my concern when dealing with re-use through inheritance, is what happens when our domain evolves such that we end up in a position of wanting multiple inheritance? That is, we have TaskConcernA : Task, and TaskConcernB : Task and now we want TaskConcernAB : Task. Inheritance is not a flexible way to slice and combine behaviors.
