You could make the same argument for any of the other optional tasks that 
depend on third-party Java libraries, such as the JDepend task or even the 
JUnit task. Having these tasks as part of Ant, however, increases awareness of 
these tools within the Java community as I would imagine most Ant users will 
scan through the lists of core and optional tasks after each release to see 
what's new. 

However, I understand the concern with the growing size of the optional jar. 
Perhaps an alternative would be to include a section containing links to 
external tasks in the Ant manual (in the same format as the current lists of 
core and optional tasks), rather than just having it as another page on the 
website.

In the longer term perhaps it would be worth considering pushing *all* optional 
tasks that could be bundled with the tools they wrap back into those tools. 
There would then be little distinction between the remaining optional tasks 
(such as the Visual Source Safe tasks) and the core tasks - perhaps it would 
then make sense to merge the two?
