Not sure what exactly you mean with creating a task from an  
appointment, but what's on the roadmap is just to merge the tasks and  
calendar applications. This is just a technical thing and won't change  
anything from the user's perspective.

No.

There's always a backup from the last configuration created, that you  
can revert to. Either manually, if you cannot login anymore, or even  
from within the configuration section.
