I don't believe that to be correct, but we can clarify with David and Ross.

OK, so we're agreeing on this, so let's see from David and Ross what we
would need to have in our checkout to satisfy the requirement.  Yes?  If
that works, great, and if not, we can move on to something that does.

I meant that it was orthogonal to his initial point about Forrest changing.
JAMES uses an older version of ant.  The main site uses a newer version of
ant.  I've checked, and the actual tags that we use to access anakia are
different.  Now, I don't know whether or not the new version of ant does or
does not support our older style of use, but that won't matter until JAMES
decides to move to a newer version of Ant.  Same with the Incubator, if we
provide Forrest the same way that we otherwise provide Anakia, then we can
be stable in our frame of reference, even if Forrest is evolving.
