So what I've brought up is not a critical security fix, but instead a critical functionality fix, with a workaround that is quite annoying for end users. How does that rate?
Yes, Tomcat 5.x is the way to go, but for instance on "support packs" for NetWare we are not at liberty to make such a big move, but instead need to make the smaller upgrade of 4.1.29 to 4.1.30. I will pull in whatever additional fixes I need(JNDIRealm, the Connector to make the admin work), but the story of "Move to 5.x" does not fit everybody's case. But, the next major release vehicle of NetWare and our Novell Linux Services will do that move to the 5.x code of course.

We've been giving the message for a while now that 5.x is the way to go, not least because less resources (including release manager resources) are spent on 4.x.
