Hello, Short version: +1

We are short before the freeze; the release architectures still include architectures which require gij in it's current form (hppa, kfreebsd-i386 and kfreebsd-amd64). Please either port OpenJDK to these archs (hey, you're still an OpenJDK maintainer ;), or stay with the current ant version in testing. Packaging the 1.8 version as ant1.8 might be the better choice.
I'm not a big Java specialist, just a packager, but we've seen quite a lot of FTBFS bugs due to the upload of ant 1.8. I'm personally hit by one for FreeMind, so I would support Matthias' suggestion until someone explains what has actually changed in ant.
One more argument: ant 1.8 is obviously not backwards compatible with ant 1.7; this makes it a transition, which shouldn't be started that late and without preparation in the release process.
