I understand there is a new component that people feel they have to use, 
or something like it. But this is actually simply replacing standards by 
proprietary APIs. Although I understand why this is tempting (faster in 
the short term ?), a Servlet 3.1 has the same HTTP upgrade capabilities 
and async IO as the proprietary component, and is functionally identical.

Normally, the evolution is the opposite: a proprietary API exists 
initially, and some people may use it (but most wait) because there's no 
standardized one yet. Ex: the async IO and upgrade capabilities of web 
as available in EAP 6.1, which mimic Servlet 3.1.
