that's another story entirely.</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yep. But I don't think that's the case. Or at least, if it is the case then we need to be very specific and have a lot more scrutiny over the feature we think we might want to use to make sure that forcing people to (say) Tomcat 8 -- which is not even a stable release yet, just a beta -- is justified.</div></div><div>
