Fragile how so?  Because of the build-dependency on Cassandra (and/or
how it is satisfied)?

What duplication are you referring to?  I don't see much beyond all of
the boilerplate you'd see between any two ant projects.

Well, the idea of moving it was to be able to treat it as a separate
project (more or less), so it follows that you'd have to independently
patch anything using AbstractCassandraDaemon. 

Well, it follows that if we change an API that any project using it will
need to be updated as well.  Since the idea behind moving the drivers
was to be able to treat them as separate projects, it follows that we'd
have to do it here as well.

What do you mean by "but not have multiple versions for 0.8 branch"?
