continuing development for ant 1.4

[Jay Glanville <di...@nortelnetworks.com>]

Hello all.  Excellent discussion that's been going around!

I've noticed something recently.  Around the discussion time for the next
release, very little posted patches or submissions actually get submitted
into CVS.  I noticed this in the past when we were discussing ant 1.3, and
I'm noticing it again now.  It's excellent that we keep our sights set on
the horizon, but lets not forget to look at our own feet once in a while.
Ok, Ok.  REALLY bad analogy, but I'm sure you get the point: lets still keep
a small amount of focus on the current set of patches and other submissions
coming in.  

There are some of us here who are not visionaries but still want to
contribute to the current state of the beast.  For example, I recently
submitted a new task (<recorder>) and I want to submit a few minor
modifications.  However, because my original submission wasn't added to CVS,
I'm not sure if I should re-submit the changes in it's entirety, or patches.

Anyways ... just a lowly grunt's opinion.

Jay

Guess this has to be so as the time most of us can spend on this
project is limited. But thanks for reminding us that we are
"commit"ters 8-)

I've seen you announcing that you'd want to modify your original
submission and therefore waited for a new one.
