Duncan,
all in all I hope your email doesn't mean you are leaving Ant as
implied by the article at xmlhack.com.
Just like Diane, I don't see you and the majority of the other
committers disagree about what features to implement in Ant2. There
are several different opinions on how to implement them, yes, but I
don't see a majority opinion ATM and this would be the second step
anyway.

Yes, and you are a committer. You have as much power to influence this
decision as anybody else - if you want to.

I haven't seen any vote about technical issues yet, and of course,
your opinion will be very much appreciated - and if you disagree, your
-1 needs to be addressed of course.

Of course.

I hope you are going to participate in that course, it's up to you.
