I don't agree.
Having :
Servlet2.0 -> TocmatNext
Servlet2.1 -> TomcatNext
Servlet2.2 -> TomcatNext
Servlet2.3 -> TomcatNext
Servlet.next -> TomcatNext
is very fine.
I don't think people want anything but bug fixes (and perhaps a few more
features) for Tomcat 3.2 and eventually 3.3.

I think that would be the best. Now, a few points :
- The main branch in the jakarta-tomcat tree is broken, and is also a bug
mess right now. I think it needs to be fixed so that it complies more with
the objectives set for TC3.3.
- If it was possible to avoid code duplication for as many components as
possible it would be great ;) Fixes / improvements are really hard to merge
otherwise. Since I think the main point of disagreement is the servlet
engine core, that should be doable.
