Red Hat still has one of its offering based on Apache and Tomcat, named
JBoss Web Server:
https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/jboss-middleware/web-server

and the latest update available (5.4, based on upstream Tomcat 9) in
November 2020, had the bits for RH EL 6, 7 and 8.
See also docs entry page here:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_jboss_web_server/5.4/

So it is non considered a dead technology, even for business use cases....

OK it looks like whatever I say is going to be taken to extremes so this
will be my last email on this.

I am not saying Tomcat is a dead technology. It is a technology which has
certain use cases and deployments which the people I knew who used it are
replacing with a different technology/service.
