But, that being the case (and I know I'm touching on a sore spot) what will be the lifespan of 3.3.
Since a proposal to publish a "Tomcat 3.3" has never been formally presented and voted on, the only logically correct answer is "I don't know." Depending on the results of a vote, it could be anything from "it will never be released (as Tomcat -- the code is free for anyone to do what they want with)" to "live long and prosper".
Given the current emotionally charged climate, I would not suggest that anyone propose a vote on 3.3 at the moment :-).

I'm guessing 4.0 might be a bit hard to get into as I picture the major decisions being made in a sun boardroom somewhere in cupertino where i'd not have the time to make it to and probably wouldn't be invited anyhow...
I'm guessing (well, not really -- it's pretty obvious :-) you haven't studied your history very well.
For an interesting bit of background, you might go check out the CVS repository for Apache JServ at http://java.apache.org and select the branch labelled "JSERV1_1DEV". (Yes, it started before there was a 1.1 release of Apache JServ). Note the dates on those files (early to mid 1999, before the Sun contribution of Tomcat was announced). Go look at the source, and you will see the recognizable architecture that is Catalina (the servlet container part of Tomcat 4.0) today.
For the record, Sun hired me in March, 2000, so that I could work on Tomcat full time instead of it just being a hobby (as it was when the original code was written). :-)
