Arnaud, I'm afraid I have no plans to add server-scope inheritance to Capistrano. We can talk about "why", if you'd like, but the short answer is that it has a lot of surprising edge cases and makes it hard to know, by looking at the tasks, what servers a particular task will be executed on.
I prefer the clean predictability of explicit roles, with the absence of a roles declaration resulting in the task being executed on all defined servers. Please do add to the FAQ page.
