The org.jboss.resteasy:resteasy-client-jetty needs to be deprecated in favor of https://github.com/resteasy/resteasy-jetty. The documentation needs to be updated as well.

The reason for this is, the client can have its own release cycle. It becomes a maintenance issue when upgrades for a client come into RESTEasy itself. In a minor release we can't do major client upgrades. However, we don't want to do new RESTEasy minors for versions of RESTEasy which are consumed in supported products. That would mean we need to support multiple versions which implement the same Jakarta REST API.

It makes it much easier if the client engine implementation can have it's own release lifecycle.
