No Greg.

Just remove the shit. Really. Take out the command line and the task
name. You already admitted that there is no actual valid use for it.

We don't add crap that then has to be disabled with secuirity rules
just because it was a bad interface. Just make the interface not do it
in the first place. It's that simple.
