I'm not an expert but here's my comment :-)

I think we should simply change the comment from "Please prefer the use of
retrieve + standard ant path creation" to "You may want to prefer the use of

If you don't care about making your ant build "independent from ivy" then
there's no reason not to use ivy:cachepath.
