By jharjono:

is a prompt necessary? I think the purpose of `rake` is to have an easily scriptable collection of automated tasks. It may be more Ruby to make this particular rake tasks to accept command line arguments, something like `rake setup_ssh --email=myemail@domain.com`.

I can kind of see a scenario where I have a fresh ubuntu machine, I run `rake install` and then I leave for a long coffee break since I know it will take hours. Then I go back to my machine an hour later only to discover that the install script is suspended since it's waiting for user input
