I don't think I see the downside. Grails developers will have the
option to choose which container they want to be used by commands like
run-app, a choice they haven't been able to make in the past. If
there are going to be choices, something needs to be the default and
since more of our users deploy to Tomcat than Jetty, Tomcat seems the
sensible default. For anyone who wants to continue using Jetty, they
will be able to do that. I don't think anyone is really giving
anything up but a lot of folks are getting something that they have
wanted.
This really should not present a problem for any projects.
