What if you're wanting to use it on Java 14, 15 RC, 16 EA or in 6 months time 17 EA, will they support such an old version? Reading the website; Tomcat 7 needs Java 6 and later and (Java 7 for WebSockets), Tomcat 8 is Java 7 and later Tomcat 9 is Java 8 and later Tomcat 10 is Java 8 and later
They are supporting multiple versions and back porting, or merging or cherry-picking changes where applicable. If tomcat finds issues then I'm sure we would put out a support release to fix their issue. What if my project mandates Java 1.5 will commons demon downgrade back to Java 1.5? What makes a downstream project a blocker for upgrading? Do a major version bump and they can keep using the current version they have, they don't have to upgrade if that breaks their application...
