I agree with KH. Following MO's line of thinking essentially says
"things shall never change". I can't subscribe to such lines
of thinking.

Well, Shibboleth has been mavenized. That's part of the suite of tools provided by Internet2.

I understand where you're coming from, but I disagree with the weight you give to that kind of consistency.

Unfortunately, I had to drop off the call before providing
feedback regarding the use of Maven. I believe that one of
the most important things to consider when deciding upon
infrastructure related changes is its impact the user. In
this specific instance, I believe it is important to provide a
consistent experience to the user for building and installing
our set of I2 Middleware products and so believe that the
Ant version of Ldappc be kept up-to-date as the default project.
