Ok then based on this...
I hope that this group takes into the account of all votes, including
those that use the app server, our community and users. If we cannot be
neutral, then minimally we should let the users decide what they want as
a default container. If everyone wants Jetty as a default, then I am
behind it. But if a majority want Tomcat, lets give the community what
they want.
A vote was put out...lets see what our users want.

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.

The installer should make either Tomcat or Jetty the default

[ ] 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.
