Nicola, this is not about 'if what Peter says makes sense' - it is about what the majority of ant commiters thinks. And it is about how decisions are made - by one person (or 2) or by majority. You have a very valid point with <init>, and if a majority of ant commiters share this view, that'll be how ant will work, even if I don't agree and vote -1. I voted -1 on removing tasks from the top level, yet a majority at that time decided to remove them and they were removed. Now, based on what we've learned - we have a pretty strong majority who things tasks should be allowed - and again that's what should happen even if few people disagree. Please make distinction about the validity of a point and the decision-making process we should follow.
