Timestamp-interceptor dependencies (jetty server)

Using timestamp-interceptor version 7.7.1, 7.7.2 or latest 7.8.0,
we can see transitive dependencies toward JETTY server (http server).
Transitive dependencies come from:

  • io.confluent:internal-rest-server
  • io.confluent:confluent-licensing-new
  • io.confluent:kafka-schema-registry

There is a post here on “how to minimize the dependencies”
https://support.confluent.io/hc/en-us/articles/23782491949588-What-are-the-required-dependencies-for-timestamp-interceptor#applies-to

However, it is strange that a client interceptor depends on http servers.
Moreover, the Jetty server version is old and CVE prone.

Is there a new version of this interceptor or a way to get rid of all these unwanted dependences ?
