 Is this seen as useful.

 And how do you look at the proposal to drop the deprecated since 1.4.x in
 1.7?

There's a fair bit of old code that has been deprecated for a while - I seriously doubt that users are going to suddenly update from Ant 1.3 to Ant 1.7 and expect all their builds to work.

This is not about normal users of ant, but of 3pp using the code of ant, for instance to provide ant tasks. If someone made an Ant task on 1.3 it continues to function until we remove these items. So it could very well be that the user is using this task originally designed for ant 1.3, rebuild by someone else against ant 1.6.5 (ignoring the deprication warnings), gets intro trouble.

otoh if we never can clean up anthing...
