When an organization adopts Jenkins, I think there is a need for a term 
that receives an artifact from Jenkins.  Given that it is open source, how 
does one create a new word?  Should I try to ask Kohsuke Kawaguchi to 
create a term?  When other people talk about Jenkins with non-technical (or 
semi-technical) managers, are they finding a lack of a word for this server 
difficult?
