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.
