Hi I would like to propose a discussion to slim down CI by dropping some jobs which are of questionable value, other which have received little community support:
- Drop centos: we can't support every distro, if anything we should clearly specify which versions of base libraries are needed and test for the latest stable release of Ubuntu. I don't see much value in testing different distribution flavours. Not sure what was the rationale for adding CentOS in the past but this might no longer apply. - Drop windows: windows has received little attention from the community and mostly has served as a gatekeeping from CI. Dropping windows would allow to migrate to a more advanced CI framework such as Drone or a fully container based one given that Jenkins has quite a bit of baggage and for the most part we are testing on containers.
