[POLL] Who is using CGIServlet, and why?

All,

I'm interested in what the community is doing with the CGIServlet, if
anything. Please do NOT reply if you don't use the CGIServlet. Please
DO reply if you fit into any of these categories:

1. Using Tomcat as a primary web server without reverse proxy (e.g.
httpd/nginx/etc), and using CGIServlet to run e.g. Perl, PHP,
Python... really any common scripting language on the back-end.

2. Using Tomcat for mostly Java code, but you use the heck out of
something very specific (e.g. ImageMagick) via CGI

3. Using Tomcat with mostly Java code, except you've got that one
script that was written back in 1997 by the guy who never talks and
nobody knows how it works, only that your business depends upon it, so
the CGIServlet lets you continue to do that.

If you can fit yourself into one of the buckets above, please do so.
If you can't, please provide a short explanation of why you (a) still
need the CGIServlet and (b) don't fit into one of the above buckets.
Basically, I'm trying to limit the discussion to what people actually
NEED and avoid devolving into endless group-discussions of why some
company operates the way that it does.

The above is our use case, mostly for prototyping, usually in Python.
