No, but there is no mention of the classloader re-organization in the
migration guide.

Oh, hmm. The reason it's not in there, or in the Tomcat 7 migration
guide... is because this change was made in Tomcat *6*, and it *is* in
the migration guide... for Tomcat 6.

So, never mind.

For some reason, I thought this change was made more recently, but I
guess not.

Joel, it looks like your distribution was (still?) using that
directory in Tomcat 7 even thought Tomcat hasn't shipped that way for
... a long time. I wonder if your deployment script was accomplishing
anything by touching that directory in the first place.
