No. I'll probably start and Antlib based on compress that will provide cpio and ar tasks, but for the existing tasks we'll keep our own codebase, I guess. At least I have no plans of changing that. > Or keep it separate.

We are also (over) conscious about backwards compatibility so we couldn't remove our classes anyway. What I intend to do is to put a statement inside the Javadocs pointing people to commons-compress so they don't keep using Ant's code as a general purpose library - which it isn't.
