Let's not forget the fact that jetty is not semantically versioned, which
can cause ugly problems. The Uber jetty bundle hides this concern.

I'm not saying this couldn't be solved somehow but it can't be ignored.

And also don't get me wrong, I love jetty!

The thing is that Felix modules are cornerstone OSGi technologies and it
takes things like semantic versioning seriously and I would be opposed to
having a key part of the system suddenly become a burden by binding itself
to something that isn't semantically versioned.

Sincerely,
