--- Comment #3 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
Generally we like to close every open bug (not enahncement request) for a
branch (e.g. 8.0.x) before we do the next 8.0.x release.

The excpetion is API breaking changes. Tomcat doesn't have a black and white
view of what is the public API and what isn't. It is very much a judgement call
based on how likely we think it is that someone will have written a custom
component that is using the API that needs to change. How we handle these sorts
of changes depends on the severity of the bug, the scale of the API change and
what those API changes are.

For this particular bug I think I can see a solution but I'm not there yet.
There are API changes but they aren't in an area where I'd expect folks to be
writing custom components (I don't think I'll need to change the
ErrorReportValve for example) so - assuming my solution works - this should be
in the next 8.0.x release. It should also make it into the next 7.0.x release.
