 Review comment:
   I'm still not feeling 100% about the xcom. I'll update the comment about 
pickling for sure.
   
   There aren't a lot of operators to use as an example for how to properly 
respect `do_xcom_push`. The `BashOperator` just unconditionally returns a 
value, so I followed its lead. But in testing, my tasks always push the value, 
even when I've set `do_xcom_push=False`.
   
   @ashb, any suggestions?
