Perhaps it would help to view GUMP as an early-warning system. As it stands, there is a heads-up that there will be issues when Ant 1.4 is released. Knowing this, a developer has the option to fix them sooner, or just wait for the release. It's also bidirectional, in that it can give the Ant developers a heads-up about how many things they are about to break ;-) Testing against the latest releases may not reveal as much, since the developers and users are already building their own projects from these. But as Sam says, if the Taglibs Committers vote to be taken off the list, that's their perogative. -Ted.
