I don't think "overlook" is the right word. Continue discussing
would be better. See below.

I am deeply dissappointed that the conversation degenerated
as it did. More so that neither the participants nor the
community were able to publicly or privately disarm the thread.
As I'm no stranger to such threads - I'd really appreciate
if third parties could point out publicly or private where
I went wrong and why my words were seen as attacks?
But yes +1 lets move on.

Actually, before trying the patch again, I think we need to back off a
little bit more and get the requirements straight. ie what is it that
we are trying to achieve for 1.0.1
My understanding was that there were two goals:
1) make clustering work in the release.
2) Unified clustering configuration that allows an unmodified web app
to be deployed on g-jetty and g-tomcat.
Hopefully we all agree that 1) is a requirement and i think Jules should
open a JIRA to capture that some things were broken in 1.0 and need to
be fixed for 1.0.1
However, I'm not so sure we agree on the need for 2) in 1.0.1 and I
think that has been the cause of much of the disagreement. It appears
that to achieve 2) may require either some compromises (eg clustering
configs in container plans) or significant work (create share stand alone
clustering plan).
I think that removing differences between Jetty and tomcat is a high priority
and that we can accept some compromises to unify things for 1.0.1, as that
will halve any breakage needed for 1.1 etc. Thus I do think that
2) is a requirement - but others may disagree????
