I think Ant1.x should be an option ( because that's what I would vote
for).
I'm not an active ant commiter curently, but if my vote still counts
it'll be -1 on any candidate that doesn't have a clear backward
compatibility plan built into the design - i.e it should be able to run
most existing ant tasks and provide wrappers between the new APIs and
the old ones ( like xalan compat package for example ).

I don't think the vote should be on a codebase, but broken by
features/patterns ( allowing to select by vote what's best in
the 2 codbases ). This would also require the 2 codebases to provide a
clear list of 'what's different from ant1 and why' - especially in
build.xml semantic and the task interface.
