The real problem is the new servlet/jsp spec and implementation. All the
extra code is reasonably stable.
I don't know how hard it would be to separate the servlet-specific classes,
and use the same codebase for a 4.x release.
IMHO - if you get 3 +1 votes for 4.2 - I won't opose it ( meaning people
willing to work on it ). I am spending all my free time on 5.0 and ant ( I
only review the excelent commits that Bill makes in 3.3, sorry I can't help
more).

Propose a vote then.
Again - if 3 committers are willing to work on 4.2, then probably there
is a need for it. I would prefer the features to be done on 5.0 ( or 3.3
:-), but everyone should deal with his itches.
