It doesn't matter how it's filed, we adjust anything we have to.

If we had the option, we would definitely not provide a solution like this, because it eventually will bite anyone that goes down that road, but it's been there too long, so the focus is on addressing the problems it causes for releases.

Aside from the general problem of making that work well in the face of Spring and XML, which is out of our hands, we definitely don't intend to not support automation.

We just already have that solution documented for the original IdP installer, and Jetty is the only real difference between the two in terms of what you get out of it, so that's the thing we have to close the gap on.
