Abandoning the initiative started by #1083 to use display tasks (aka "execution tasks") for structured task lists.
This is due to deprioritization of related feature requests and bug fixes (DEVPROD-5091, DEVPROD-7440, DEVPROD-12402, DEVPROD-13331 (#1298), DEVPROD-14794, DEVPROD-14888) and the obscuring of useful information for display tasks in the Evergreen Waterfall UI (a single status box does not convey the difference between 1 task failure vs. 100 task failures).
Grouping of tasks (in both Spruce and during CLI patch scheduling) may be accomplished using Evergreen UI's (much better) support for task filtering via regex patterns (e.g.
--regex_tasks/--rt) and/or via task tags instead.
