Can you please elaborate on what the real issue is here? I mean, you download the distribution and the user/developer shouldn't even really care if there is 2 or 50.

It is really up to them to shoot themselves in their own foot. > As an Ant committer And I'm one of the first users and one of the very first committers. :-) Looking back in the CVS log, I see commits I made to ant nearly 1.5 years ago. :-) >, I'm 'committed' to making our > build file world a happier place. +1!!!!!!!!!!
