I really can not tell what echoes on you mind ;), but if you follow
both bugzilla and tomcat-dev@ as well as tomcat-user@, you will find
out that there where no bug reports neither questions related to
domino connector, isapi or nt_service for years.
So where is the 'refrain' in that?
Either nobody uses them or the existing implementations are so good
that no further development is needed.
Rather than deprecate, what about simply allowing enough time for
dust to settle, and reports to roll in.
Did you follow the bugzilla issues for the last two months, and
the things we fixed from the latest stable release?
3 +1's that all looks like
it's good, and then let the community (with all their goofy combinations
of OS's, connectors, and backends) chime in with complaints.
If we would think like that, no software release would be ever made.
Should we ask every user in the world, if it's OK to release?
Again, if you have some doubts, or tests that shows the release is
broken or faulty, please report that, or even better fix it, and commit.
Please let's keep the politics, bureaucracy and formalism out of j-t-c.
There are so many ASF projects that are suffering from that, and j-t-c
was one of the few that had a pretty tolerant developer community ;).

Mladen.
