It is "drop-in" in the sense that any app that works under b5 should work
unchanged under b6. However, I would never ever ever ever :-) try to
install Tomcat or any other package "on top of" an existing directory
containing a different version. That's just asking for weird and wild
bugs caused by directory structure reorganizations between versions.
Do yourself a favor and install b6 into a new directory, and copy your
webapps (and server.xml file, if needed) over.
