[Question 1.0.0] -RC1 wants servlet but -SNAPSHOT is ok with netty - is this intentional ?

[space88man]

I have upgraded an application to Spring Boot 4 and spring-grpc 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT - modulo dependency changes everything works as expected. When I tried it with 1.0.0-RC1 it seemed to want the grpc jakarta servlet classes - this application has a servlet running(actuator) - so presumably it wanted to reuse tomcat.

The original Spring Boot 3 app was using netty.

The dependencies were copied from the server sample:

//properties
<spring-grpc-dependencies-scope>import</spring-grpc-dependencies-scope>
    <grpc.version>1.74.0</grpc.version>
    <spring-grpc.version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</spring-grpc.version> - OR - 
    <spring-grpc.version>1.0.0-RC1</spring-grpc.version> 

//dependencies
        <groupId>io.grpc</groupId>
        <artifactId>grpc-bom</artifactId>
        <version>${grpc.version}</version>

      <groupId>org.springframework.grpc</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-grpc-dependencies</artifactId>
      <version>${spring-grpc.version}</version>
      <scope>${spring-grpc-dependencies-scope}</scope>

      <groupId>org.springframework.grpc</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-grpc-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
      <version>${spring-grpc.version}</version>

      <groupId>org.springframework.grpc</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-grpc-test</artifactId>
      <version>${spring-grpc.version}</version>

Sorry for the messy log as this was an attempt to switch to structured logging:

  "message": "Application run failed",
  "error": {
    "type": "java.lang.IllegalStateException",
    "message": "Error processing condition on org.springframework.boot.grpc.server.autoconfigure.GrpcServer
FactoryConfigurations$NettyServerFactoryConfiguration",
