--- Comment #6 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
First of all, the memory leak detection is not going to be disabled. For far
too long Tomcat was being blamed for PermGen based OOME errors triggered by web
application reloads. The leak detection code has proved invaluable in raising
awareness of what the real root causes are and in getting a number of the leaks
in popular 3rd party libraries fixed.

I'd disagree with the view that leaks don't matter in production as it depends
on how applications are managed. I do agree it is an issue that can safely be
ignored some use cases. What would be very useful - both for this issue and for
others - would be a way to determine when any Tomcat component is stopped is
whether it is being stopped because:
- the JVM is shutting down
- Tomcat is shutting down (e.g. in an embedded scenario)
- just the component is being stopped (e.g. a web app is being undeployed or
reloaded)

I've been giving this some thought recently and I have some ideas about how
this might be done. I need to turn those ideas into code and see how well they
work. If I come up with a viable solution I add it to Tomcat 8.
