+1

That being said, there are many reasons to upgrade to a later version.
I would recommend an upgrade to 8.0 immediately and that you begin
evaluation of using 8.5 for your application(s). Tomcat 8 offers more
features and improved performance over Tomcat 7. Tomcat 8.5 offers
even more of the same (especially NIO+OpenSSL), though I'm holding off
a little more until more little wrinkles get ironed-out (which only
seem to affect people doing somewhat specialized things like tricky
Websocket maneuvers).

No decision has been taken regarding Tomcat 7 EOL.

It is the stated policy of the Tomcat developer community to provide 12
months notice of any EOL decision.

It is unlikely the topic of EOL for Tomcat 7 will come up until there is
a clear roadmap for (and some progress towards) the next iteration of
the Servlet specification. That is unlikely to be soon given that the
process of Oracle donating Java EE to Eclipse is going to take some time.

My best guess right now is that Tomcat 7 will be supported to at least
the end of 2019 and quite possibly beyond.
