Is that a correct summary? If so I think it is premature to do so, especially since a production quality version of Tomcat 5 could take 6 months. If we are just maintaining Tomcat 4.1 (bug fixes), I would be willing to port any bug fixes to the Tocmat 4.1 branch into a Tocmat 4.2 development branch. And when a 4.2 branch is ready, willing to act as the release manager if you are not interested in doing so.
I consider 4.1.x can recieve bug fixes and minor feature additions (example: the JNDI realm new feature which just got added, optimisations, etc ...), similar to HTTPd 2.0. This is consistent with the patches I and others have been applying, the release process we've been following, and so on.
You may want to clarify your intentions, and since this release process has been going on for 6+ months, I fail to see how you could be surprised at how things are getting done ;-)
