In principle it’s good but it means doing a lot more tests to officially
support it and we’re already doing a lot. So I’m not very inclined to add new
config tests. It adds a lot of hours to the build. I’d prefer that we keep
officially supporting only a single version if we can. Same as for jetty for ex.
BTW could you provide the URLs for the various debian repos (oldstable, stable,
unstable) so that we can check the precise Tomcat versions?
BTW I also noticed that https://packages.debian.org/sid/tomcat8 doesn’t exist
anymore. It’s been removed? This link is in our doc at
https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/SupportStrategy/ServletContainerSupportStrategy/
