There's no guarantee of anything. Remember: everyone around here is a
volunteer, and there's no mandated schedule.

Here are some dates that may be relevant, but again, everything is up
in the air:

Servlet 3.0 spec finalized:    December 2009
Tomcat 7.0.0 (beta) released:  June 2010
Tomcat 7.0.6 (first non-beta): January 2011

Now, servlet 3.0 was a fairly big jump from 2.5 and 3.0->3.1 is likely
to be less effort in general. As happened with Tomcat 7.0.x, Tomcat
8.0.x (first to support spec 3.1) is currently in active development
and lots of little things (mostly clarifications) from 3.1 have
already gone into the trunk.

If you're interested in helping out, patches are always welcome ;)
