I'm one of the primary authors of Tomcat 4.0, so I've got some thoughts
about this (and undoubtedly some bias as well :-).

The only reason that 4.0 has not been declared final yet is that the
underlying specifications it is based on (Servlet 2.3 and JSP 1.2) are not
yet final.  In fact, small changes and clarifications are still going on,
and it would be pretty silly to declare 4.0 "final" and then have to go
change it because the specs changed underneath.

There will shortly be a "beta 7" release, to pick up the most recent
specification-related changes.  It should be considered a "release
candidate", and development efforts between now and release day will be
focused on bug fixes (at the moment, there are very few bugs recorded
against Tomcat 4 in the bug tracking system at
<http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/>) and improved documentation.
