Some of HP's future tape drive products will use the basic task management model. It makes little sense to support the full task management model in some streaming devices.

Subject: Making the basic queuing model obsolete

There has been discussion both in and out of T10 meetings for several meeting cycles now about making the basic queuing model obsolete. No one in these discussions has reported that they are aware of any devices that currently use this model. Does anyone know of any future plans for any devices to use this model? If I don't hear a resounding, "YES!" from someone in the next day or so, I'll add a work item to my list to create a proposal to make this model be obsolete. Obviously, if there are existing devices that use this model, those devices may continue to use it as described in today's standards.
