Jetty 12 has entered beta phase. This requires Java 17 minimum but supposedly supports servlet 3.1, 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0, and both the javax and jakarta namespaces. Somehow. They clearly see this as the future after Jetty 10 and 11 retire. What does it mean for us?
Hack a thon postmortem if any feedback to raise
