SR0 included jetty 9.2.9, but we used 9.2.10 so my guess is that using 
9.2.13 will continue to work on SR0 too as long as we have the version 
range limited.

Last years we linked such issues to the jira referring the update to 
Mars SR1 to know this before hand.

so I suggest we bring that back if we can't find anything that 
*actually* requires SR1.
