I don't think there is anyplace left where the distinction between None and Some(emptySet) is useful except for the check in removeStage (https://github.com/rxin/spark/blob/dagSchedulerHashMaps/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/scheduler/DAGScheduler.scala#L357), and that's not really even useful anymore. On the other hand, having a None where we expect at least Some(emptySet) can be a problem. I think we're better off without the Option.
