Again - 3.x is the only reason I'm still here, and I want to finish it as
soon as possible and be free.
If it is done right, it'll be possible to add features ( with a Servlet2.3
facade as the most important one ) independently - and I'll probably spend
the time doing that - but without going through this nightmare.

Maybe the same as releasing 3.2 instead of doing bugfixes for 3.1 ?
After all the same process was used, and 3.2 is just an intermediary step.

Mea culpa for the bugs, but most of the changes were just moving code
around and improving the interface between modules.

I have a good percent of the 3.2 commits also - and the architecture is as
different as 3.2 is from 3.1. As we all know, 3.0 was quite ugly, yet we
were able to get quite a few people involved ( even if .next was around
claiming to be the coolest thing ).
And remember that none of the original authors of tomcat are around or
active - including the one who designed it.
And as I said, I'll not be that far away - I plan to add new modules and
features, port back some valves, improve modules - I just don't want to
have to fight every step of the way or get back what I've got so far.
