Rationale for makeing Invoker harder to user

I recently installed Tomacat 6.0 and see that I now need to make my web
application privalaged in order to use InvokerServlet to allow users to
execute arbitrary servlets.  This seems to continue a trend that may
eventually result in Invoker being widthdrawn.

My question is why is allowing execution of arbitrary servlets so
discouraged.  In my opinion JSPs are essentially servlets with a
differnt deployment convention and there is no prohibition on running
jsps without "registering them."

I like to build web applications with hundreds of servlets and I prefer
not to explicitly define each one in web.xml.  Is there any sanctioned
method of doing this in a tomcat world?
