We prefixed them with the plugin name for a reason. I just notice that
you've gone though and un-prefixed them. If other plugins have something
called 'activity' or 'changelog' then there are going to be problems.

We agreed that plugin:goal was going to be the naming convention. We can
have an aliases file or something but inside the plugins the goals need
the prefix for namespace safety.
