I've been thinking about that lately. I couldn't get Jakarta
EE-powered Tapestry's master build on Java 8 due to no Jetty or Tomcat
versions supporting both Jakarta EE and Java 8 (both require Java 11).
I had to disable the Jakarta EE-Java 8 Jenkins build job because of
that. On the other hand, Jakarta EE 9 doesn't require Java 11, just 8,
and at least one servlet container, WildFly, supports Jakarta EE and
Java 8.

+1 from me. We can only enable it again if we implement a runner of a
servlet container that supports both Jakarta 11 9 and Java 8.

Cheers!
