Hi Mark, I'm aware of these discussions but it let Tomcat in the state where Servlet 5.0 is not supported - but Servlet 4.0 is which is ultra weird but don't get me wrong I'm for keeping it for a moment. Concretely it prevents downstream consumers to be certified so

Any way we get back a 10.0 or a 10.1 runnable with Servlet 5.0 API (guess it would be better for everyone)?
