Ant deprecated tasks policy

There is a starteam task that has been deprecated, since 1.4.x, in favor of stcheckout. What is our policy on getting rid of these deprecated methods? 1.6 certainly feels like the right time to do this to me. I don't think I've had a single support request for this antiquated task, which at

Optional and core tasks are available by standard. Ant uses the org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/default.properties in %ant.home%/lib/ant.jar for taskdefing these tasks. You dont have to taskdef that task, because this task is defined near line 196

I don't really see a need to abbreviate those options. You're going to be typing in a classname anyway so no big savings. yep, sounds right. I would add -p for -projecthelp because it is a common operation -version is not a common operation so no need for an abbreviation. Likewise

Some of the optional tasks will appear not to be present if their required 3'rd party jars are not present. In scriptdef's case, the jar needed is bsf.jar (from jakarta http://jakarta.apache.org/bsf/ for 1.6) and it should be in the same classloader as optional.jar (easiest is to place the jars
