FWIW, my feeling is that AntUnit _is_ where we (at
least I) want to get to, and I would desire that it be
exempted from the probation period on those grounds.

I agree 100% here. Ant is the place to prove AntUnit.
So do we make a build of AntUnit and include in
lib/optional in Ant core HEAD? (on another thread,
Martijn mentioned that we bundle a junit jar and
would/should handle AntUnit similarly; agreed, but
fetch.xml does have the capability to fetch the junit
jar as well)

+0... we should be able to move the artifact to
lib/optional and make the tests conditional as w/
current... obviously we should also make the AntUnit
test path in build.xml separate from the JUnit path,
so we can slowly move tests from the latter to the
former.

I know I do. Basically more and more of us _have_
been using the au strategy, just without the
syntactic/semantic sugar it provides. :)

The current version of AntUnit probably has 80% or
better of the total test functionality. I think our
tests rely less and less on log messages and more on
results, etc. Log contents are probably the biggest
thing missing from au... we could write these, or just
change the logic of those tests (this decision might
require a vote). But my point is that "enough
committers" shouldn't amount to much. :)
