As you know we tend now to be very picky about what we put into optional so that it does not become a kitchen sink and that original authors wash their hand about the support and maintenance...especially when these tasks are related to commercial products where they are free to do whatever change they want and we pay the price about backward compatibility...(I did the mistake myself for writing such tasks so shoot me first). Anyway so it is assumed that antlib will improve that as pluggability will be a snap so people will have a tendancy to keep the code with their product rather than giving us the baby. For other tasks, well, you have to lobby here, attach code, documentation (and dont forget xdoclet doc to help erik...) and testcases in bugzilla. And bug us (wont be part of 'us' in a few days ;) about putting that in until you dont have a satisfactory reply. I think I wrote it all.
