Not quite.  It is the one included in Ant distributions.

and it is the one published as http://www.apache.org/dist/ant/KEYS
(provided you remembered to do an "svn up" in the correct place after
you've modified it in svn) so it is the official KEYS file for all
releases made by the Ant project.

[via svn:externals, that is] That's exactly the reason why Ant still
has KEYS file of its own.

But would require all of us to use Subversion clients that supported
it (externals are mostly a client side feature) - which is unlikely to
happen too soon.

IIUC the server is already running subversion 1.6.
