It was killed in the library with the candlestick. I'm still working out who was responsible for it.
In reality.... Ant was moved to the Red Hat Applications CD in RHEL4, along with many java dependent packages. If you want/need it, redhat distributes the iso (around 900MB) via ftp.

if yum install ant does not work then download the tarball and use the binary from that?
Yes, thank you, but since RHEL supports jpackage I would just grab the rpm from there.
The actual question was why it had been dropped since RHEL3. I was hoping that it had really been merged with another package that I just somehow missed when searching the provides lists.
The whole movement to using gcj and gcc-java is annoying.

It was not dropped. It's been moved to a different Red Hat project. It is now part of the RHEL4 Applications Disk.
