Very dangerous. Concrete example: suppose somebody decided they really wanted to make Ant functionally equivalent to make. Suppose they believe that they had addressed to their own satisfaction any and all concerns, and therefore all vetos were mere nuisances. I believe that the web page is clear as to where the burden of proof is. This being said, I am tired: - 0 - Sam Ruby P.S. I have not fully evaluated your proposal for ant.properties - my initial take is that it looks promising.
