How long do you think Tomcat 10 will support the 'webapps-javaee' 
location for auto-migration of javax.servlet to jakarta.servlet? While 
we have migrated our own source code to use jakarta.servlet, we have 
hooks to old open source libraries like Vaadin 8 that are built on javax 
with deep ties to GWT and Atmosphere and others that make upgrading 
fully to jakarta.servlet nearly impossible. We currently depend on 
Tomcat 10's 'webapps-javaee' to migrate for us and it seems we do have a 
working 'webapps' code base as we know that Tomcat 9 will go away 
eventually and we need to prepare as best we can now.  I presume if 
webapps-javaee were to no longer be supported in Tomcat 10, we could run 
the migration tool directly, but it is convenient for us to release our 
code into webapps-javaee, let Tomcat auto-migrate it, and then release 
to others from the resulting webapps.
