[Jersey] Jersey 1.6 transitive dependencies

Hi.

I have just tried updating my application to use Jersey server 1.6 and noticed that something was bringing in javax-servlet 3.0 as a dependency and including it when I deploy my web application.

From examining the dependency hierarchy it would appear that jersey-grizzly2 (which is required for jersey-spring) is the offender.

I would expect such a dependency to be scoped as "provided" in the pom.xml to prevent it from being included in a generated war.

Given that I am not intending to deploy onto a servlet 3.0 compatible server, should I be concerned at introduction of an apparent requirement for Servlet 3.0 functionality?
