I've done so. We've had six +1s and one -1 by the committers who did not abstain (and Stephane's explicit 0). Most arguments we've seen are arguments against task at the top level in general, not arguments against target less build files, which means they are irrelevant for this vote. ant-dev has agreed by lazy consensus that we want to allow all tasks at the top level, if anybody wants to make the vote explicit, feel free to do so. Having said that, we are faced with the choice between (a) <project> <echo>Hello world</echo> </project> and (b) <project default="foo"> <echo>Hello world</echo> <target name="foo" /> </project> (b) is possible no matter how this vote ends. Peter's reasons for his -1 are [1]: ,---- | Removes clarity and structure from build file. The evolution from | target-less to targetful build process can also be ugly. `---- Comparing (a) to (b) the first argument is not valid IMHO, I cannot see how (b) is clearer than (a). Also I fail to see how the evolution from (b) to good and modular build files may be easier than from (a). Peter, any other reasons?
