Tomcat Native Question

[Fenlason, Josh]

I should have checked this before the vote for 5.5.16 was closed, but I
just realized that in 5.5.16 the native connector is still at 1.1.1.
Does the Tomcat native connector have it's own release cycle?  How does
that work since it is bundled in the Tomcat release?  Thanks.
