 An update to Tomcat 7 would allow to install webapps using Servlet Spec
 3.x (for details see http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html).

 Depending on the projects that actually use the pre-installed Tomcat, one
 could even jump to Tomcat 8 which requieres Java 7 or later.

 Background: We're considering changing dependencies for the 52°North WPS
 that would result in requiring Tomcat 7 instead of 6. Alternatively we
 could ship the WPS with it's own servlet container, but that's just taking
 away disc space from more interesting stuff.
