Why drop them? They're optional, they work, they make connecting some tasks
unambiguous and some people undoubtedly use them in scripts. I don't think
they're a maintenance headache (they're contained to a small portion of the
code, and their presence is transparent to the code for individual pipeline
tasks), so no reason not to keep them, right?
