+1 to this.

Since the worker no longer exists in that scenario, I don't think we lose any
data there, right? A reference to a nonexistent worker is as good as NULL. Do
we need to add a task scrubber to find tasks with NULL workers and make sure
they get reassigned? We could also use SET() here, and pass it a callable that
sets it to an extant worker pk, but at the moment I think I prefer SET_NULL.
