Anyone know why the Execute SQL Task is only available under Control flow and not Data flow (At times it's a useful data manipuation task and I wish was available as a Data flow task as well.)

Asymmetry in "Execute SQL Task"?

It could lead to some extremely inefficient data flows.
Imagine executing a SQL statement for every record in a 1,000,000 row transformation
Or what if you decided to execute an update against the source data in your transformation
The posiibilities for abuse are staggering...
If you need to run a SQL task doing it before or after a transformation allows you to execute SQL on the entire set... Not just a single record.
