I can see how not having fake tasks keeps things tidy.

Isn't there a way to create "hidden" tasks?

I've kept hidden tasks by prefixing with _.

Example:

 

def _xm_svclist(svc):
    import os
    fh = os.popen('xm.listsvc.py %s' % svc)
    return [i.strip() for i in fh]

def svc(svc=None, *args, **kwargs):
    'util func to lookup the svc host list'
    env.hosts = _xm_svclist(svc)
