The helpful links posted again indicate there will be a "few weeks" of overlap 
between the release of 9.1 and the EOL of 9.0.  Does a "few weeks" mean 2 weeks 
or does it mean like 8 weeks?  I can appreciate this 9.1 being treated like a 
normal maintenance release in the 9.0.x series but I don't think there is an 
appreciation that upgrading to those minor releases can be painful for some of 
us.  (Ignoring for the moment that some are using connectors that are being 
removed in 9.1 which breaks things for us.)  Each release of Tomcat, despite 
the hard work of several persons, has bugs.  If the first release of 9.1 has a 
bug that affects someone they might have to stay on 9.0.x and if 9.1 corrects a 
security issue that puts people in a difficult position.  And there are going 
to be more than a few persons who try to upgrade only to learn their AJP 
connectors no longer work. 8-(
