I do think the feature is needed, especially for production systems. Many API's used by a web application don't know they are being used in a web application and have no access to the servlet context log, they use stderr and stdout. It is very confusing during production if errors generated by these API's are put in catalina.out and other errors are in the Context log. Putting all the stdout/stderr output for a web app into one log makes it easier to debug a problem. Also, when the output goes to catalina.out there are no timestamps which makes it difficult to correlate output in catalina.out with the context log. For me, debugging is easier if everything related to a webapp is in the same log, and with timestamps. This is just a change in behaviour, I don't see a problem with having it enabled by default as long as it is documented. -0 for adding the flag -1 for setting default behaviour to disable putting stderr/stdout in the context log.
