So the JobDSL plugin requires that you have a specific view on the security model of your Jenkins instance (i.e. only administrators can explicitly create/configure jobs, all other users get jobs created / updated via the JobDSL using scripts managed by administrators)
A large chunk of installations do not share that security model (i.e. letting users create/configure at least some jobs) and thus in those installations the JobDSL plugin would essentially be a big glaring security hole waiting for attack... To be clear, I am not saying that the JobDSL plugin is insecure, rather that its use mandates a specific security model and if you do not share that model then it may not be for you.
