Defer stop does not mean "don't stop". It means there is some code which should ignore stop for a little while and the stop, kind of like an asynchronous ensure block. Therefore, I don't think we should prevent it from propagating to child tasks.
In particular, if you have a server task that is handling one or more child tasks (responses), those tasks should be stopped.
The alternative is to make defer_stop parameteric, but I'm trying to avoid increasing the complexity of this interface.
