The jakarta.apache.org packages, including TomCat, are much better documented than just about any other open-source initiative I've encountered.
The TomCat README I have, of 2000/04/18, provides very nice pointers to installation, configuration, and development documentation. I certainly don't see "use the source, Luke" written anywhere in there. Even if I'd lost the README and the docs that come with the binary somehow, it's three rational clicks away from jakarta.apache.org to get to Tomcat - A Minimalistic User's Guide.
I admit I would like more documentation with TomCat but I'd like more documentation with everything. I think Jakarta's doing a reasonbly good job getting documentation out there.
Please note that the censorware which was blocking a bunch of conservative sites was doing so as a side effect of those sites being run off of free hosting services, which it blocked automatically. The writeup here on/. didn't make this clear - I recognize/. writeups need to be fairly short, but the impression I had (and which it appears other readers might have) is that this piece of censorware had gone out of its way to be prejudiced against conservatives.
