True, I think we've seen that the Amp Lab Jenkins needs to be more focused on running AMP Lab projects, and while I don't know how difficult the ASF Jenkins is I assume it might be an easier place to make changes going forward? (Of course this could be the grass is greener on the other side and I don't mean to say it's been hard to make changes on the AMP lab hardware, folks have been amazingly helpful - its just the projects on each have different needs).
