[Pulp-dev] 3.0 Validation update

[Jeff Ortel]

Austin,

After reading the thread, it's still unclear to me whether consensus was reached and if so, what decisions
were made for either:

1. Where validation is performed.
2. Are updates/deletes tasks?

Can you post a follow up with this?

Thanks,

Jeff
