Hi Mitch,
please open a JIRA ticket for this.
There is another blocking issue related to the extends feature (IVY-1347) that
must be fixed before the 2.3.0 final release.
This is exactly why we create RC versions and ask people if they could test it.

Subject: Re: extends & buildlist on 2.3.0-rc1 ... it gets worse
OK, I stripped away all use of the extends feature, and sure enough,
buildlist produced a normal, expected, non-randomized project build order.
This indicates that something that had been working in Ivy 2.2.0 is no
longer working in Ivy 2.3.0-rc1.
Considering that:
A. The buildlist task is a prerequisite for being productive with Ivy.*
B. The extends feature is a prerequisite for being productive with Ivy.*
The apparent fact that these two features are now mutually exclusive with
Ivy 2.3.0-rc1 (where they weren't with Ivy 2.2.0) represents a serious bug.
I think my next step is to forward this thread to the ant-dev list and ask
how to proceed.
* For those who wish to say, "Mitch, we've been able to get by just fine
without (buildlist|extends)," I'm perfectly happy to have that discussion,
but my primary concern now is facilitating a fix.
