+1 for David's proposed strategy how to handle the identified regression. That should prevent many surprises for 8.0.x users in the community which was my main concern why I voted a „0“ this time.
I’m optimistic that an upcoming 8.0.8 release will shine again. I can provide feedback once 8.0.8 staging binaries are available and a vote is open, or via a virtual coffee with Richard (Z).

Sounds like there are regressions on the 8.0.7. What I'd recommend is we just don't put 8.0.7 on the mirror system or website. We leave the mirrors and website with 8.0.6 until there are better 8.0.x binaries available and just put up the 9.x binaries. Tomcat does this fairly often if there's a bad build of one of the branches. If you look here there are 36 releases of 9.x, but the highest version number is 9.0.45, so a decent percentage were never published: - http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-9/ I think that's probably one of the reasons they can crank out so many releases so consistently despite maintaining 3 branches. Thoughts? -David
