There's no reason the global Ant distribution needs to be a "kitchen sink" of every possible task anyone ever conceived of--let's keep Ant lean-n-mean instead of a fat Swiss Army Knife (you know the kind, the ones that look really cool sitting in the glass counter but turn out to be too bulky and unwieldy and of no use to anyone except as a showpiece?).
