The real problem is the new servlet/jsp spec and implementation. All the extra code is reasonably stable. I don't know how hard it would be to separate the servlet-specific classes, and use the same codebase for a 4.x release. IMHO - if you get 3 +1 votes for 4.2 - I won't opose it ( meaning people willing to work on it ). I am spending all my free time on 5.0 and ant ( I only review the excelent commits that Bill makes in 3.3, sorry I can't help more). > If we are just maintaining Tomcat 4.1 (bug fixes), I would be willing to > port any bug fixes to the Tocmat 4.1 branch into a Tocmat 4.2 development > branch.

Again - if 3 committers are willing to work on 4.2, then probably there is a need for it. I would prefer the features to be done on 5.0 ( or 3.3 :-), but everyone should deal with his itches.
