Tim, This is a *VERY* slippery slope. All of us are committers at Apache on a personal basis and our employment is no bearing on our committer status. Remember, they (or anyone for that matter) else can fork Tomcat (and call it by any name they want and do whatever they want) if they crave publicity. IF they want to do joint publicity, they can of course contact the prc and make as much press releases to their heart's content. This is not the right way to do it.
