Make a formal proposal, put it to vote - and if it gets a majority of votes it can be implemented. The implementation can be vetoed, the proposal is a majority vote. We do have a majority of votes on top-level tasks and targetless tasks - but that doesn't mean <init> or any other proposal that gets majority can't be implemented and used. I'm -0 on <init> and I'll probably not vote against any other style. If 3 commiters want to use a certain style and that doesn't affect me - I see no reason to vote against. > Why is it so much more dificult to add: > <target name="main"> > </target> > > Adding those two lines around a target-less list of > actions does not seem too more dificult to me. > Is there some specific horrible escenario that you are > concern about? There is nothing wrong with doing that, and nothing stops you ( or anyone ) from doing exactly that. If you think that this should be the only solution - put this to a vote, get the majority to revert the vote on targetless - and we'll live with that. We can fight forever over taste and preferences over a style or another - and I think we should be as open as possible with other's preference. Even if something is turned down by majority, if enough commiters want something we should at least provide some hooks to allow them to do that outside of ant.
