Right. Not arguing : do you know roughly when we talked about Servlet
API versions ? I checked my notes but no luck there.

> Tomcat 8 -- which is not even a stable release yet, just a beta

Is Tomcat 8 beta ?

I see (beta) on the "which version" page [1], but that page also says
"beta releases are always clearly marked on the download pages", but
the 8.0 download page [2] doesn't say "beta" anywhere, AFAICT. The
release notes [3] in the 8.0.8 download say "This is an alpha
release".

Confused a little.
