It's not only a question of reputation. One of Ant's biggest burdens is backwards compatibility, and the more tasks we have, the more difficult it becomes. When we introduce a new task in a release we must be pretty sure that its public interface is a good one - which is pretty hard to do if you don't know the problem domain well enough. And certainly, if less bugs on custom tasks get reported against Ant, we stand a bigger chance to fix those reported against Ant's internals.
