Nothing. The Tomcat developers (= the committers) determined that the EE 9 release was useless since the only change is the javax -> jakarta package renaming. A big task for sure, but that seemed to us this was more a developer oriented armaggeddon and not something that benefits our users. For reasons that elude my understanding, some other projects like TomEE thought this was still useful and decided to release full support for EE 9 rather than go to EE 10 like we did. Our plan about EE was public. So I guess this is still our problem obviously, but I don't feel like doing anything about it. BTW, about the last item. Recently, I tried to run CXF on the new EE 10 APIs (since OWB moved to that). It doesn't work as it uses deprecated APIs, while IMO it should have moved away from them long ago. And it's an ASF project, not some hack project somewhere. Basically unless there's a cut somewhere, nothing will ever change :D As a result, I don't think an API restoration in Tomcat 10.1 is a good idea ...
