This is currently true -- Fabric's normal use case is focused on the remote end, and few users have had the "do something in parallel locally too" need. So the internal assumption giving you trouble -- tasks will only need to run once per host -- has historically been fine. That said, Tyler is not the first person to ask for it, and I would not be surprised if Invoke (the new task runner coming out of Fabric) gains the ability to multiprocess or thread local tasks. Then, if we put things together right, Fabric 2 (built on Invoke) would be compatible with that, so you could natively run a task X times in parallel locally. That task would then be able to use Fabric API calls without issue. That doesn't help you (Tyler) today, but I just wanted to say it's not off the table for the future.
