++vote to keep Suggestions for 3.6 release.
The autofix feature and plugin nature of compiler, javadoc, pmd, and
checkstyle errors are the main reason I use Tasklist.
It has also been the quickest way to convert people to the NetBeans IDE.
I am not completely sure why you want to make so many changes to the
tasklist module when it seems many are quite happy with the way it is, and
probably would want just bug fixing here and there.

Mick.

PS. I also love the Bugzilla plug-in. Just imagine this combined with some
sort of project definition file. Load an opensource project's definition
file, have all your classpaths set, compiler types set to the
appropriate ant targets for java sources, neccessary jars mounted,
project's pmd rulesets selected, ...AND... instant connection to the
project's bugzilla query! :-) Wow! This would win developers over in a
jiffy.
