Per the "Upgrading Jenkins Java version from 8 to 11" page [1]:

> All agents must be running on the same JVM version as the master (because of
> how masters and agents communicate). If you're upgrading your Jenkins master
> to run on Java 11, you also need to upgrade the JVM on your agents.

Per the "Java requirements" page [2]:

> If you use Swarm Plugin to create agents, JRE version must be equal to the
> version of the master

Why is there a requirement for agents to be running on the same JRE version as
the master? Is this because backwards-incompatible changes have been made to
serializable classes in the Java 11 runtime? If so, could someone please
elaborate?

Thanks,
Basil
