Hello dear Developers, Contributors and (eventually) users!

The issue https://issues.jenkins.io/browse/INFRA-2879 is making a proposal 
for a breaking change in the library of Docker images 
("jenkins/jnlp-agent-*") coming from the repository 
https://github.com/jenkinsci/jnlp-agents .

The rationale of this change (why running a container as non root) is not 
expected to be discussed in this thread (please use the JIRA issue), but:

1. "Should we do this change"? As it even questions the reasons why we 
provide and maintain this set of images. For instance 
"jenkins/jnlp-agent-alpine" would be totally deprecated.

2. And if yes, "what is the process to communicate and apply a breaking 
change?". Is there a standard procedure to go trough the 
mail/twitter/IRC/etc. channels? We were thinking of adding documentation 
(README of the repo + README of the images in the DockerHub + comments in 
the respective Dockerfiles) and writing a blog post. Is there something 
else?

As the documentation for these image is scarse, it is hard to evaluate the 
impact. If you have any knowledge on how it is being used (outside the 
Jenkins project's infra.), could you share it to help us?


Thanks in advance!

Damien DUPORTAL
