It would be great if you (Bob) could give Tomcat 8 rigorous testing in
your environment. The more bugs you find and report the faster Tomcat
8 can come to GA. Even if you go to production with Tomcat 7, consider
running in development with Tomcat 8. If it's working for you, then
feel free to go to production with an alpha release of Tomcat 8 :)

I've started to deploy Tomcat 8 into some my development environments
for just this reason. We don't use any of the crazy new-ish features
of the Java Servlet Specification, so I'll have a good environment for
regression testing for basic services, resource-loading, etc. We have
some production services that are very basic where I may consider
deploying an alpha version of Tomcat just to get some performance,
etc. data. Rolling-back to Tomcat 7 for me is as easy as editing a
property file and bouncing the service so it's very cheap for me to
provide this kind of testing for the community.
