Task Templates: Support for Task Sequences

I really like using Task Templates as they allow me to push changes in a task's configuration to multiple projects in no time. One more thing I would really like to see supported, though, is the ability to define Task Sequences as Task Templates. Here's my reasoning for that:
We have a number of Dynamo scripts that check different aspects of the model and run once a night. If they are run outside of a Task Sequence, it means Clarity will start a new Revit session for each of them. In order to save processing time it would make sense to have them all run in a single Revit session (i.e. a Task Sequence). Right now that means manually creating a Task Sequence for each project (or copying it from a template project).

I'm not sure that I had even noticed that - but it's a clever workaround for the issue...

(to anyone else who stumbles upon this:   

1. Use global Task Templates, and push the child tasks into a template project

2. Make a Task Sequence in the template project

3. When you set up a new project, you can copy the Task Sequence, and the child tasks will come along with it - AND they are still pointing back to their global task templates.

Seeing that we can now copy task sequences with template driven tasks from a template project (when did that get introduced?), I don't think this feature request is needed anymore.

It's compelling, but fairly tricky to implement. But we'll give it another look.
