Althrough I agree with peoples that can't move to Tomcat 5, Tomcat 5 has been available for more that 1 year. That will be good for Tomcat if people migrate from 4.1.x to 5 and find bugs (that way they will not be carried into 5.5/6).
Although I would love to upgrade all of my sites to Tomcat 5, unfortunately there is one particular showstopper for me in the behavior difference between Tomcat 4 and 5. Specifically, it is the fact that TC5 no longer pauses request processing during a context reload while TC4 does.
While this behavior could be worked around with load-balanced Tomcats, until mod_jk (or the Apache proxy module improvements) support dynamic reconfiguration, having to make a class change during operations can be disruptive. Currently, if you wish to disable a Tomcat using mod_jk, you have to at least have Apache gracefully restart, which is not always very graceful.
IMO, if there are enough commiters willing to make/support another 4.1 release, let them!
