For developers not subscribed to the builds mailing list, there is a good discussion going on that affects POI.[1]
Jobs timeouts have been reduced to 120 minutes. We can revert this if needed (like the slow executors). Job history has been reduced to 5. If we have a streak of broken builds, it's helpful to know the last successful build. I don't know if the new pruning rules will keep that kind of information. Someone suggested managing our jenkins config in a svn-controlled file. I like this idea and think POI should adopt it. Please check out the other changes that we "made with a hammer" to see if we need to revert or compromise.
