Why?

ExecuteOn.java used to implement <execon> (something you could guess
by then) and we later renamed that task as <apply> - so people have to
look up which class implements <apply>, they cannot guess it.

Using above rule, the class would have been ExecOnTask - how would
that improve the situation?  Same for CallTarget.java that would
be CallTargetTask, not AntCallTask ;-)

Maybe it would be better to not place any classes into the taskdefs
package that are not implementations of tasks but utility classes?

Other than "I don't like it"?  No. 

But I don't like pre/post-fixing my variable names either and do so in
environments where I have to.
