To talk more about the change specifically, it seems to imply that all implementations of the API/SPI  should be intended for testing use cases. There are already [multiple fully featured implementations of the API/SPI](https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2024-January/118266.html) (Jetty has one for example), so is this really the correct thing to say?

perhaps the wording can be amended to something of the effect of

> The default implementation provided by this module is intended
for simple usages...
