I am using 4.1.29. This was enforced starting sometime after 4.1.24 which did not require WEB-INF or web.xml. I assumed I was relying on an anomaly that was corrected and that it would be the same in 5.x.
As I work on upgrading to 5.5, this would simplify my installation. or as Filipe suggested, a flag to change the behavior would also help.
