The distinction is that those are all components which maven is
installed with or retrieves itself. Ant is the only dependency which the
user must install separately to use maven. Thus to keep the barrier to
entry low, we want to support the released version of ant, since many
people have it and it is available in packaged (easy to install) binary
form for many popular operating systems.
It would be nice if long term we could use released versions for
everything, but realistically I don't expect to see a release of
commons-{lang,util,io} soon (or ever even).
