It may be easy, but it will get less easy when more people start filing bugs 
after removing some essential kernel feature. And we would have to do the 
same for any other apps that happen to rely on this module, ending up with 
potentially lots of init scripts that load modules on their own.

(Besides the "problem" is in jsvc, not Tomcat.)

I would like to close this bug as a non-issue.
