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-(
