TC 3.x supports one version of the JSP/Servlet spec and TC 4.x
support a later version. Due to a number of reasons, the developers decided
to start developing TC 4 from scratch. TC 3.x was already well under way so
they have a huge head start.
Assuming that web developers (that's us) want to use the new
releases of JSP and servlets, then the support for TC 3.x will wane and
eventually stop with all of the developers moving over to TC 4.
Really, the Jakarta guys (who do an excellent job, by the way) have
two quality products, each supporting a different version of the JSP/Servlet
specs. One has just been under development longer.
