+1 (not that you need any more votes)
FTP can be crufty, but ftp clients are everywhere, and for that reason it is useful to provide ftp as a way to get at data without a hassle, particularly on random boxes where you don't want to worry if client software for more "modern" protocols is already installed/configured.
I'm not an ASF member...and I'm not sure what in this message triggered this thought, but...for what its worth.
I'm glad to see this work as well. Just to throw out another potential benefit down the road of this work. I could easily see this resulting in FTPS support finally being available in open source. Not that I'm a big fan of FTPS in general, but not having an FTPS server available in the open source world is something of a gap that probably should be filled.
