Is that how you build Aaron, or just a hypothetical? (Part of the problem is
that these days we don't even know who everyone is, let alone what they're
doing!)

At some point the issue just comes down to motivated manpower: there's just no
one left to support the Ant build. It hasn't worked on Jenkins for months, but
no one noticed and no one has the motivation to fix it. I think this is less of
an active decision to drop Ant support, but rather a passive realisation that
there's just no one that's going to do the work.

Again, it's just motivated manpower: who would build a Gradle plug-in?
