I think there is no clear explanation of the TC4 support situation on the tomcat web site. Maybe to be fair to users you should start by adding statements, that TC 5 is the preferred version and TC 4 is soon to be supported only for major bugs and security patches. Furthermore you could expliciteley recommend an update to TC5 for all active TC4 users.

Hola,


I think we long ago agreed not to vote -1 just because you want

somebody

to work on a different codebase :-)


It must have been long enough ago that I wasn't here ;)  I don't
remember it.  Anyways, since is a (non-lazy) majority vote so my -1 is
not a veto, just an opinion.  We already had two -1's on the lazy
majority vote, which is why this vote is needed.  Since there are more
than two more +1 than -1's, this vote will pass and 4.1.31 will happen..

I like to think that when we say something is "maintained" it doesn't
just mean doing a release. It also means we support it on the mailing
list and by checking Bugzilla periodically and addressing issues. But I
guess I'm fairly alone in this opinion, so too bad ;)


I respect the voting system nonetheless, I have no issues with it.  The
vote passes, the release will happen, no problem.  I will still suggest
users having problems with 4.x upgrade to 5.x, but the people who want
this release so much are of course welcome to support it actively on the
mailing list as well ;)
