Based on the discussion here: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/tomcat-dev/201910.mbox/%3Caf5d1b42-beba-c5a3-9699-3b8c12b5eb1e%40apache.org%3E There is no point in delivering tomcat-native.tar.gz and commons-daemon.tar.gz with the Windows ZIPs since both are included in precompiled form and add little/no benefit fo the distribution. They should be left out at best.
Agreed. Fixed in: - master for 9.0.28 onwards - 8.5.x for 8.5.48 onwards - 7.0.x for 7.0.98 onwards
