I fully agree with Nicolas. And maybe we could use this chance to jump to v2 of 
Jenkins and even think about changing/removing/refactor some stuff we currently 
do with ugly workarounds. I'm sure there are a couple of things core developers 
would love to have fixed...
And plugins should?/could? then really express there compatibility with the new 
version.
