Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Apache Roller 6.1.0 release is available

i wouldn't recommend using Tomcat 7 in production since its EOL since 
march. (8.0 is EOL too)

First stable release of Tomcat 9 was January 2018, there was quite some 
time to upgrade. (even Tomcat 10 is considered stable now)

best regards,
-michael
