The Jenkins core maintainers aspire to deliver First Customer Ship (FCS) <https://illumos.org/docs/contributing/quality/> quality all the time on the main branch <https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/7218>. The integration of jenkinsci/jenkins#6912 <https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/6912> has destabilized the main branch, resulting in approximately a dozen pull requests to correct issues with the initial integration. When the main branch is not in a stable state, new problems are far more likely to be introduced, a timeless phenomenon described by Jeff Bonwick as the Quality Death Spiral <https://illumos.org/docs/contributing/qds/>. The overall quality of the delivered software, not any one project, is what matters; therefore, I am proposing a revert of jenkinsci/jenkins#6912 <https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/6912>.
There is past precedent for this: when the Jetty 10 upgrade was integrated, it destabilized the main branch. It was quickly reverted, then reintegrated later when all known issues had been addressed. The revert of jenkinsci/jenkins#6912 <https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/6912> is also intended to be temporary: once the issues caused by the original change are addressed (including JENKINS-70169 <https://issues.jenkins.io/browse/JENKINS-70169> and jenkinsci/design-library-plugin#182 <https://github.com/jenkinsci/design-library-plugin/issues/182>), we fully hope and expect for it to be reintegrated and delivered in its final form. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
