I totally agree, I only ported the Ant filterset to Ant because I knew Mitch was planning on submitting a replace task to NAnt that would not use such a mechanism and would not initially support filesets I have no problem removing it again, but we should somehow think about how we'll be implementing fitlerchain support in NAnt. Perhaps Stefan Bodewig can give us some insights on how it was implemented in Ant (post 1.5) and what the motives were for choosing that implementation ... I haven't had time to check the Ant implementation yet ... Could be a start for more cooperation between the Ant and NAnt developers, who knows ...
