Mixing components may be bad - since it is not tested or supported.

However upgrading only and individual component may be very good in 
the future. Why do you think that "patch releases" ( where only 
few individual .jars are updated ) are bad ? 

For example if we fix something in jk - should we have to make a full
new release of tomcat ? Same for jasper, catalina, etc. 

As long as we test the new jar against the stable version - and _we_ 
recommend the components that should be mixed - I think it is far 
better way to upgrade.
