+  #
+  # The reason for the rake task is that our `newrelic.yml` file contains ERB
+  # blocks that expect the AppConfig to be setup and for identity-hostdata to be
+  # loaded. This rake task loads the rails environment before reporting the
+  # deployment so the NewRelic config is loaded correctly.
