I am interested in feedback regarding co-bundling Jetty[1]. Do you
like that idea ? alternatives ?

The basic idea, as I see it, is to provide jetty-distribution as a
versioned and unpacked dependency.

I understand that there will be a range of deployment strategies,
maybe custom is the most common. The target deployer for co-bundling
Jetty might be those interested in a quick start or demo, or for SPs
who need a test IdP.  For the latter, I have already done some work
with v2.

The idea of providing a v2 package with a co-bundled Jetty is
interesting to me for the purposes of generating feedback, I like
making decisions based on data. Maybe the upgrade path from v2 to v3
would be made easier with an incremental step. Maybe not.

It would be good to have a discussion on a Friday call, but I wanted
to bring it up here first.
