Not necessarily. Only the populate_staging task would be machine
specific, not the all the tasks.
With the staging changes I'm thinking of, do_populate_staging basically
becomes a file copy. For the numbers of files we're talking about, it
should be fast. rm_work would still work as long as it preserved the
image directory under work...
