Alright, here you go. Get it out of your systems....
<flamebait degree="total">
so I hear 3.3 was a total waste of time and that 4.0 was the best thing ever and that 4.0 is way faster than 3.3. </flamebait>
<flamebait degree="total" mode="silly">
So I hear 4.0 was a big evil conspiricy on the part of Sun via Craig McClanahan who is really a drone for the borg and Scott M is actually the Hive Queen with a holigraphic field around him to make her look human. I hear 3.3 was the rightous product of REAL apache people. </flamebait>
Though I could be wrong...

So far it seems Stefano ( who is not currently a very active tomcat developer) is pissed off by the decisions made on tomcat-dev. I don't see too many tomcat developers flaming each other.
IMHO most ( or all ) tomcat developers agree that both code bases
had some good and some bad parts. I also think most of the tomcat community is behind 5.0, which is a merge of ideas
and code from both 3.3 and 4.x. And I think users were very
well served, and the outcome is one of the best possible.
In the end we have a far better community and a lot more tolerance
and understanding.

The Apache Jakarta Law:
Any discussion regarding Apache Jakarta will eventually degrade into a discussion about the
Tomcat 3.3/4.0 issue, often including a full re-analysis of the events, revision of the history, and sometimes degrading into a full re-enactment of the emotionally charged flamewar that engulfed the Tomcat project at the time. Often even those who don't often participate in such "interesting uses of time" will even "match the judgement logic" necessary to participate in such a conversation.
I hope one day my Law is proven false. Perhaps if those involved were to take this on to a wiki and document all about it, the different view points and lessons learned, opposing lessons learned etc, we could one day make this law obsolete at least.

I believe it was a mistake to allow two different codebases to share the same name.I'm not convinced that "having two codebases" is necessarily a mistake. So far the discussion here seems to have centered around the concerns of the existing tomcat developers. I'd like to know what the tomcat users (ie. the future tomcat developers) think of the 3.x/4.x division.
