I have changed my mind, please ignore my previous vote.
My vote is now:
[ X ] Make Jetty the default Web Container install selection
My initial concerns were with users not familiar with Jetty (e.g. Tomcat users)
and the lack of Geronimo documentation on Jetty. I chatted to Greg W on IRC
and he said he will improve the documentation. I have raised JIRAs
GERONIMO-1314 and GERONIMO-1315.
Thinking about it more, those who already use Tomcat in other projects are
probably going to click Tomcat if they don't go to the trouble of looking into
Jetty.
I agree with Aaron that we should make it clear in the documentation that it is
only a default to simplify the install process and either container can be used
and both are supported.

Vote:
[ ] Make Tomcat the default web container install selection
We may run out of time before the votes can be tallied. For that reason, I'm
making the default Jetty unless someone can provide a good reason why it
shouldn't be.
FYI - it's been decided that installation of both web containers via the
installer will not be allowed. Manual configuration of both is possible
though.
