Is multi-version compatibility an option? By which I mean, do we use any APIs that have been changed/removed since Jetty 9.4.
If so, people on Java 8 could continue to use Jetty 9.4, and people on Java 17+ could upgrade to Jetty 12. The default Jetty version would be the latest, but we would give instructions on how to use an earlier Jetty version, and continue to test Java 8.
