How this reduce the workload? As far as I understand, there is currently Ant minimal in module and full featured Ant as ursine package and both companies complain (more or less) that they want to do less. And of course one of the ideas of modularity were that you have one repository, actually one branch, and from there you build Ant for module and the same Ant as a ursine package, but apparently, there are different needs. Therefore Ant has to be maintained twice.
