I thought the idea was that ant2 will have those famous incompatible API/ build.xml changes ( or will just be the next release after 1.9 :-). It seems many people want to stop supporting 1.1 - I'm usually against, but if indeed nobody uses 1.1 anymore ( for development at least ) I don't see why it has to wait until ant2. Each version includes the features and supports whatever the commiters decide. We've seen a lot of pain in keeping 1.5 compatible with JDK1.1, and having a better class loading in 1.6 would outweight the lost of 1.1.
