That's what I keep saying from months, Sam. I keep saying let's fix the
bugs on 3.x and improve its performance. You don't want to do that? Help
us develop 4.0 and Catalina. You don't even want to do that either?
Create a proposal and work on it, I'll be the first to analyze it when
Tomcat.NEXT comes along.
