Excuses about my reference to Centipede in Ant, it was indeed just a
stone in the water, not a formal proposal.
The original plan was indeed to eventually make it pass the incubator,
and what I envisioned was just _one_ possible outcome.
Anyway, the reference server its purpose since you guys are getting out
your thoughts clear, and I like it :-)
From a person involved in Ant but not committer:
+1 for ant.apache.org
+1 for a tools.apache.org _federation_ for Ant, Gump, Maven, etc...
