The design is crystal clear on that point:

No optional components in the core. No moving around of core components.
No exceptions.

So instead of choosing between(*):
 - an application-centric dock
 - a windows-per-workspace list
 - a global window list

placed:
 - alongside the application menu
 - in the message tray
 - at the left/right screen edge

and enforcing it on all users(**), they are given a choice.

Ain't that evil?

     the same kind of task list I want, now isn't that a
     coincidence!"
