It is certainly being used by many other projects (including Tomcat last 
time I saw).

There is no real reason to change this until there is a change in the 
JSP spec (except for bug fixes), so this can explain the inactivity.
I believe the 1.0 version is from 2003.

I am afraid however that the change mentioned below will break many of 
them (if not all).  So any release should exclude this change (well, 
adding the deprecation is OK).

Regards to all,
Fernando
