But 3.1 didn't require 9.3. That's really the point. They're separate.

You also didn't see a problem because we didn't upgrade Jetty. Tying them together doesn't make upgrading either one much easier, it just makes upgrading Jetty less frequent because the tying increases risk and requires us to be more conservative. But people can be just as conservative without us forcing it.

Part of the the risk I meant was coupling them instead of strictly relying only on the servlet spec as a contract and maintaining total separation so that if the container upgrade works in its own right, you don't break the IdP, and vice versa. That separation reduces the risk of that kind of bug.
