Apparently it is indeed a good thing :-).  The appropriate patch was just
committed to the Glassfish repository.  If people want an open source
implementation of the servlet spec where the developers listen to users on
issues like this, you might want to browse over to:

    https://glassfish.dev.java.net

and take a look.

This (removing my name from the @author tag on StandardSession), both here and
everywhere else in the Tomcat code base, would indeed be my wish.
