Yes, if applied strictly, and this here might be indeed a breakage that
matters in practice.

But you can work around that by making it use a worker task opt-in via
a new parameter boolean flag.

Oh, and isn't prune_result now unused? We're still lacking a simple 
and standardized method to save a structured result alongside a task
UPID, otherwise it could be saved there, but that's another topic.
