I like it... It is what I was asking since the beginning.
The ASF, as a member of the JCP (the only NON COMPANY member of the JCP, I
would like to underline), needs to ship the reference implementation of
Servlet 2.3 and Java Server Pages 1.2. This, as decided, will be Tomcat 4.0,
based on Catalina and Jasper.
If you and others want to continue the evolutionary process,
re-revolutioning (I like this phrase :) go ahead, and do it as Craig did for
Catalina.
And I'm the most open person to consider a "new" codebase as the next-next
generation of the Apache Servlet Engine...
Deal :)
