No tasksel in main?

Hi!

Are there any reasons why there's nothing like tasksel in main?
IMHO tasksel is a nice thing as it
 * shows newcomers what they can do with Ubuntu
 * makes it easy to install the packages I need without having to search for
   them
 * gives me a kind of standard selection of packages. If I'm new to
   something it's often hard to decide which of the many alternative
   programs is a good starting point
