The spec requirement for 2.2 is servlet 3.0 partially due to handling
the input file upload.

What is the spec requirements for 2.2? If 2.2 doesn't insist on
servlet-3.0, then I'd make it a soft dependency rather than a hard
failure.

Thanks Thomas, sounds reasonable. Though there is still myfaces-2.1.x which
runs perfectly fine with only servlet-2.5
This is really only required for JSF-2.2. Now I personally assume that people
start using JSF-2.2 in production around Q3 next year (2013). And until then I
hope that all people who really are eager to use JSF-2.2 moved on to
servlet-3.0 already ;)
Not sure about big banks, etc which still use EE5 containers and upgraded
'manually' (placing myfaces into WARs). But those companies will switch to
JSF-2.2 earliest 2014 and I'm not exactly sure what we can expect then. Most
probably all users/customers are on EE6 then at least.

Hi,
i think it would be better for many users to still support 2.5 and only require
3.0 for the htmlInputFileRenderer.
Many users already use other fileuploads like PrimeFaces and don't need this.

Hi folks!
We did lots of tricks to keep core free of servlet-3.0. But sadly we leak it in
MyFaces-2.2 due to myfaces-shared HtmlInputFileRenderer.
This function requires the multi MIME Part which is new in servlet-3.0.
That means servlet-2.5 support is only guaranteed if you don't use that feature.
How do we treat this? Require servlet-3.0 for mf-2.2 or let it crash and write
up a note about it?
