Looking at the original vote I realize that what you ask can't be done.
Tomcat 4 is the RI of Servlet 2.3, JSR 154 is for Servlet 2.4.  So it
isn't possible to create a JSR 154 only dist of Tomcat 4.

Very good point. I withdrawal my vote. A new vote will need to be made for
Tomcat 5. I will re-submit when I can also submit a patch for it. =) As soon
as I'm over a Scarab deadline (Dec 20th), I'm going to work on this and it
is going to turn into another similar Anakia-style deal.

If you remember correctly, people -1'd Anakia all over the place until I
went and actually built the website using it. Now, to this day, Anakia is
still used for the Jakarta site (as well as the main www.apache.org site).

So, for something that people said sucks so badly and is such a terrible
idea, it has worked very well for quite a while now. =) The same will be
true for my minimal distribution idea.

This is not getting anywhere.

Actually, what you want is not a distribution for end users, but rather a distribution for people embedding Tomcat (like, say, for Cocoon, Slide, Scarab).
If this packaging is clearly labelled as such, then I could live with it, as it will not confuse users (except those who can't read).

Other than that, I think having one and only one user oriented distribution (the implementation I favor for that one is with jboss-like profiles) should be a requirement.
