Ok, how about this:

The <fileset> has an element that lets you select the group of files you want to work with (include), and then another one that lets you selectively remove files out of the fileset based on name (exclude). How about I create more selective removals that operate on attributes other than name. Changed file dependencies, a grep, whatever. This is in keeping with the existing design since you already do a filtering out of the items in a fileset.

Or has this been talked to death as well? I've tried to do a search on this topic in the archive, but I get way too many hits to figure out whether it has or not.

BTW, is there a reason the ant-dev archive stops at November 4th?
