Security in Jenkins is currently opt-in for mostly historical reasons. That's 
fine on your team's local network. And one would think people wouldn't run an 
unsecured Jenkins on a publicly accessible server. We've recently learned that 
one would be wrong, and I had the great joy of writing a security advisory(!) 
basically telling people to not be complete idiots[1]. Therefore I decided to 
err on the side of caution on this change (and FWIW the rest of the security 
team agreed).

As to the impact on plugins, we identified several plugins that would be 
affected and provided guides for the most popular ones. I'd be happy to keep 
updating the wiki page with definitive information on other plugins as well. 
And I'm planning to add an option to the security configuration UI to make this 
option more discoverable and easier to change.
