You have to keep pushing.
Well I did, but the next person might not. In that case the community as a whole may miss important features or ideas.

If I was a committer I wouldn't feel good about ignoring patches and proposals. By the way isn't ignoring patches/proposals the opposite of what a committer is supposed to do?

I'm sorry - but everyone is very short on time.
Yes, I do know that and respect that.

Is there any concrete feature that you need in 4.1 but is not implemented ?
Not anymore. :)

What's important ( IMO ) is that at the moment it seems more people are
actively working on 5.0, so its easier to get things changed there. 4.1 is stable - and it's normal to be a high resistence to bigger changes.
I didn't know that Tomcat 4 (as it seems now) wasn't to be actively maintained and improved. I thought Tomcat 5 goal was to improve Tomcat 4 and implement the new Servlet- and JSP-specs.

Maybe the community has to be told that 4.1 is in 'high resistence'-mode so that ppl know that they should test their apps with 5.0 if they want or is waiting for new features that have been proposed.
