It might be a big deal. I just in case your commit slipped-through
without review, you might want to post a new message to see if there are
any objections.

Since you have added methods to the interface, I'm afraid I might have
to by -1 to this commit (specifically to the 7.0.x branch) because it
means that Tomcat 7 is no longer binary-compatible and dependent code
won't compile without modification (which is obviously frustrating).

What about a different fix for 7.0.x which uses a separate class to
handle these two new methods? That would allow the fix with minimal
modification but still maintain binary compatibility.
