-     * Due to a memory leak in the connection handling code in Artemis, we are
-     * temporarily downgrading to version 2.2.0.
-     *
-     * The memory leak essentially triggers an out-of-memory exception within
-     * less than 10 seconds and can take down a node if a non-TLS connection is
-     * attempted against the P2P port.
-     *
-     * The issue has been reported to upstream:
-     * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-1559
