Hi, I am in favor of removing Jenkins completely because of the reasons you have already mentioned. It just doesn't fit into Debian's release cycle and it requires way to much effort to keep it in shape unless there would be someone who wants to work full-time on it. I presume jenkins-cli and jenkins-slave would be affected by the same short three month support release cycle. Thus I'm not sure whether it's worth to keep them, except they are dependencies for other packages or are better supported upstream. Otherwise I would do a clean cut here. Regards, Markus
