This thread is turning into a general discussion of core/optional tasks,

involving email should be core tasks, since they make assumptions not only
about available libraries but also about available network infrastructure.
This is OK for some software, but Ant is a build tool, and when I think,
"build tool," I don't think, "Ah, yes, and I'll have to set that mail
server up as well..."

Many of us, like I, are used to working in a fully networked environment.
