That was the first choice, but inevitably somebody will come along and 
click all the options on the Web settings.  Because hey, if you've got 
the box, why wouldn't you tick it?!  Or somebody gets confused and 
thinks they need to click it because they will be using javascript on 
the site.

So the request is "if we don't use it anyway, can we just delete it?"

I know that BX doesn't rely on Tomcat for any reason.  I just figured 
I'd check to make sure the yum remove tomcat* shouldn't cause any 
issues.  It doesn't look like it would, given the dependencies.
