Likewise though, couldn't you argue that if the project hasn't been touched in years, then the chance of the project upgrading it's Ant distribution is also slim?

No. As Gump shows us there a tons of open source projects in wide-spread use which haven't been touched in years (still don't stand the slightest chance to compile on Java5, for example). Removing deprecated stuff from Ant means that a project that built fine on Ant 1.6.5 suddenly stops building in 1.7.
