Re: RSE Extensions in V7

We have an "open-source" - well, free, anyway - 
installer for Tomcat - do we support it? You bet we do.

You get the RSE Extensions directly on the 
SoftLanding site - I think you can rely on them 
to support it - their is certainly an implicit support expectation.

Just a note to all of us here on the list - since 
the information was posted here, that Mark 
Phippard is no longer with SoftLanding, there 
have been a number of subtle and not so subtle 
suggestions that things are not going to be as 
good at that company - let's be careful about 
this - acquisitions can make one nervous, yes, 
but they are not necessarily bad, and none of us 
have real evidence of a problem - let's not 
assume anything - if we have a question about 
anything to do with SoftLanding, give them a call 
- this is not their support list.

Just my $.01 worth.
