I expect the next JSF and Servlet spec to mandate the backwards
compatibility. So by using an appropriate 2.4 or 2.5 deployment
descriptor GlassFish v3 - if supporting the next specs - will also have
to support the old specs. Or am I mistaken here?

Netbeans - as of milestone 10 of version 6 - does not support GlassFish
v3. Which is a bit odd, since Eclipse 3.3 does. The next milestone
probably will cure that.
