I really don't get the advantage. Isn't the message of the scheduler: 
"one to serve them all" ?? So the scheduler should be solid enough to do 
so. No matter how many tasks he has to work through.

If I would create a general reminder task for the scheduler, I would 
only have to reinvent parts of the scheduler itself to search for 
reminder tasks in a different table. So I really don't get it :(

Sorry,
Mario
