I think you should expend reasonable effort back-porting this to Tomcat
8 as it's actually being used by people (as opposed to trunk/9.0, which
is not) and not bother back-porting to Tomcat 7.

If it looks like back-porting to Tomcat 8 would be tantamount to doing
the same for Tomcat 7 (e.g. the patch set looks pretty much identical),
then I'd say go for it. Even though it's not official, I think we should
start considering Tomcat 7 to be in semi-maintenance-mode.
