Howdy,
We've been packaging tomcat with two server.xml files for a while now,
one with a bunch of examples and comments (connectors, realms, the
examples context, etc.), and a simpler one (server-noexamples.xml).

I recognize the value of the server.xml with examples and comments, and
realize it's one of the best resources for users, especially new users.

However, would it be better (especially for more experienced users), to
have the bare-minimum, very few comments, no examples server.xml be the
default (i.e. be extracted to $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml when
installing), and call the other one server-withexamples.xml or something
like that?

My rationale is perhaps selfish, but every time I install tomcat I have
to either pare down the default server.xml a lot or copy the noexamples
one and pare that one down a bit.  Maybe it's just because I don't like
having extra/unused elements in server.xml (and other configuration
files) -- I find them confusing and distracting at times.

This is obviously a minor issue, a nitpick maybe, but I wanted to raise
it as tomcat 5 is nearing a final release and see what other developers
think?
