Think of what the alternative is that you are asking the end

when we say everything is 1.0 except for CORBA which is 1.3 and
JavaMail which is 1.545. We should also consider the situation when
we accommodate new JSRs as well.
We are not looking at 545 versions of javamail -- if we were i would
*certainly* put my foot down hard at releasing 545 identical jars for
javax.servlet and the other 12 spec jars that don't change.
We are looking at maybe 8 release of javamail, possibly 4 of corba.
Just guessing. That would give us this repo for all the public to
consume. If you weren't using javamail or corba, you'd would only
ever have to worry about the "1.0" version of everything. Those are
already J2EE 1.4 certified and most haven't changed in 2 years.

That would represent 100% of the jars publicly available and consumed
by the public. Life for people who just use servlets or jsp is
simple and leveraging other projects that use servlets or jsp is also
clean as they will be guaranteed to have the same servlet jar version
as you (there is only one available).
Ahh, others who just want servlet or JSP. Point taken.
