Further, releases of the servlet spec seem to be published approximately
every 4 years in recent memory[1]. Tomcat 9 implements spec version 4.0,
released in Sept 2017. If that version is superseded twice and history
is a guide, then version 6.0 of the spec will be released sometime in 2025.
At that point, Tomcat 11 will be the new state-of-the-art, but Tomcat 9
will still be supported, along with Tomcat 10 as well. When servlet 7.0
is announced (2029), we'll probably start looking for an EOL schedule
for Tomcat 9, which will be at least 12 months away from the publication
of servlet 7.0.
So Tomcat 9 is looking good for aother 10 years at this point.
...and this is the reason why I appreciate the Tomcat devs' work. I can
simply stick to a version and virtually forget about compat issues.
