It was never actually committed - it was just that way during initial
review but was suggested to be simplified as ref counting wasn't needed.

That all said, having now seen the later parts of this patch series, I
don't think we would need todo this at all, because we should not be
exposing the GTask to callers and thus the refcounting question goes away
