Almost everybody is aware of Costin time limitations and respects the fact that his work on Tomcat is purely voluntary (he is not paid to do it). Everybody respects Craig effort - including Costin (it sure looks so from his postings). In fact, Jon is the only person trying to turn this into a

Why don't you concentrate on commiting stuff for 4.0 instead of picking on Costin and 3.3. In the last 80 days you have done 6 commits but send 153 other mails. Even though many of them where ok, many of them where negative and nonconstructive, like "I keep looking at this code and

I've been following of the TC4.0/TC3.2/TC3.3 threads for a while in silence, and wanted to make an observation. The Tomcat project really has two major types of customers: those who want an open source servlet container for their production needs ("conservatives"), and those interested in the

Since I'm in your "tinkerer" group because I'm following the Catalina path (like we agreed on), I will state that everything in your "conservative" group is just as important to me in the "tinkerer" group. Therefore, your distinct separation of the groups is illogical and moot. Not
