Removing the Ant Bootstrap
I myself have not used the bootstrap in 18 months. I use a previously built version of Maven. Anyone using it? Anyone care if I remove it?
Thanks,
Jason

You just read my mind. I had this idea for weeks but didn't had the option to work on that.
I strongly support to remove all build files for Ant. Maven for Maven only.
Along with that, the Maven Ant Tasks need to be removed at all. Those who need them are free to use Aether Ant Tasks.

If you use it that's fine. No harm in it being there.
I find it more consistent to build Maven with Maven. Personally I don't want to ever have to update the Ant build file again.

What is the problem with? It just works fine.

+1.
It's a complicated setup that can be avoided.
