Tasks can (and should) now be defined as extensions of other tasks.

[prescod]

A custom task can now be defined like this:

deploy_reports:
    description: Deploy Reports
    extends: deploy
    group: My Project
    options:
        path: unpackaged/config/reports

Instead of like this:

deploy_reports:
    description: Deploy Reports
    class_path: cumulusci.tasks.salesforce.Deploy
    group: My Project
    options:
        path: unpackaged/config/reports

This means that the classpath of CCI tasks can be treated as an implementation detail rather than part of the YAML syntax.

This was always redundant because "the merge" provides it.

Thanks for the contribution! It looks like @prescod is an internal user so signing the CLA is not required. However, we need to confirm this.
