Unfortunately the problem Ed brought up where downstream projects would
have to reproduce what the Platform does for its Jetty problems is already
here. WTP needs more Jetty bundles than the Platform provides, and if the
Platform is using 10.0.1, it would be foolish for me to ship using anything
else, even 10.0.2.

I don't know who was taking care of
https://download.eclipse.org/jetty/updates/jetty-bundles-9.x/, but there
needs to be something similar for 10.x, and likely 11.x, to serve as a
canonical p2 repository for all of it. Pulling jars directly from Maven
seems well suited to products, RCP apps, and configurations that aren't
expected to be built upon, but for the Platform to use this approach only
complicates matters. The Platform is an unavoidable middleman in this case.
