Ahh, there is the misunderstanding. `fetch.xml` is only there for Ant
development, not for Ant users at all. It is there to be used by people who
want to build and test Ant. Users are expected to pick their dependencies as
they need them.
I'm not sure whether there are breaking changes between Commons Net 1.x and
3.x but if Ant is compiled against 3.x chances are it won't work against 1.x
anymore, which would break the builds of users who depend on 1.x (and never
cared about `fetch.xml` at all as they managed their dependencies themselves).
