I think we should also agree the principle that a feature is not part of Ant until it is included in an official Ant release, which has been the subject of a vote by committers.
+1 to all of the above
I agree with this wholeheartedly, but with one additional plea from a user.
Please - consider having the issues that the committers need to vote on be documented somewhere, if only so the committers know what unresovled issues still exist. Then, note the ones that have been voted on in a document somewhere.
I am not a committer, so it only affects me tangentially. That said, if I am writing a build file, I would far rather use something that everyone plans on getting into the release than something whose fate is not yet known. I expect changes with alpha or beta software, but I also try to use the "bits likely to survive". The easier it is to find out the 'best known way', the more likely I am to use that way.
Perhaps by policy, we could deprecate anything new, and undeprecate anything that the committers have agreed to?
