This was ambiguous as to what value you wanted to get, and an intended change.

If you want this sort of behaviour, then you probably want to look at 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AIRFLOW/AIP-103%3A+Task+State+Management
 which provides a dedicated way to manage state without many of the quirks of 
XCom interface as it stands today. Reading between the lines, I think this API 
describes what you want?
