Hi,

We've completed the upgrade of all our Jenkins instances to the latest
LTS version (2.263.2) a little bit ahead of time.

There is still room for improvement, but this LTS upgrade was quicker
than the last one. This was possible since most of our Jenkins instances
(~220 of 260) are hosted on our cluster based infrastructure and could
be upgraded semi-automatically (so with a lot less clicky-clicky).
=> Kudos to Mikaël Barbero!

Please let us know if anything does not behave the way it should be and
we will take a look.

Regards,

Fred
