My current understanding is that October 15, 2021 is the target date.

The path changes we are currently discussing are - in my view - a 
significant change. I think they would justify a 6.0 even if we can't 
get everything we'd like to get done in 6.0 completed in that time frame.

If we continue to make progress on the path topic at the rate we have 
been recently, I'm confident that I could get the changes implemented in 
Tomcat and suitable tests added to the TCK in that time frame. Not that 
I'd object if anyone else wanted to help out ;)

Cheers,

Mark
