See the decision from 1:30 minutes ago. The old tasks will still work,
"rake -T" will just only show the new names.

Better coherence in the face of a larger number of tasks. This will
allow SwitchTower to more easily populate the remote: namespace with
all its tasks instead of just a cherry-pick and then remote_exec for
the rest.

So the same benefit that namespaces always bring: Order to the madness.
