If I read you correctly then I'm safe, because I never do

    need.setTasks(None)

(is this what you mean by clearing the tomany faults?)

I'm not clear what the purpose of this is: is it to ensure that the
task.setMeal(None) is safe?

basically what I'll be doing, unless you tell me otherwise, is:

  - for creating, do the task.setMeal(meal) but not the meal.addToTasks(task)
  - for deleteing, do the task.setMeal(None) but not the
meal.removeFromTasks(task)

given that I never, ever (promise! :D) clear the tasks, and that I
always saveChanges after deleteing or creating each task, although I
have many editingContexts (inside zope, one per session using
ZEditingContextSessioning), it is my understanding that I'll be safe.
Right?
