[Bug 787496] Re: tomcat6-user 6.0.24 with confluence deadlocks

[Joonas Koivunen]

Why should the LTS follow with non-latest stable tomcat? With the
release of ga tomcat 7 it's safe to assume that tomcat6 has reached
maintenance-only mode.

The changelog from 6.0.28 to 6.0.32 is big, but changes are not
breaking; some more enableable features, mostly conformance fixes or
bugfixes preventing memory leaks.

To keep looking forward to year 2015 (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS) and
the java server applications; it might be good to expect that especially
open source products will keep working with the tomcat6, specifically
the latest stable, not an "almost stable" version.

If the latest-maintenance-mode stable strategy is unacceptable, then
providing the latest stable in backports should be?

I do not think that maintaining a backport-branch starting from 6.0.24
should be considered at all.
