This is always possible, but in my view it is better to upgrade and fix problems. I think we should try to use a more up-to-date version so we can benefit from security fixes. > 2.

If we are only upgrading every two years, would you recommend that we switch to using the stable/LTS build (currently 2.7.1)? Blog post on Jenkins 2: "This release also officially marks the end-of-life for Jenkins 1.x. There won’t be any future release of Jenkins 1.x beyond this point. If you are worried about the upgrade, don’t be! The core of Jenkins is still the same, and all the plugins & existing configuration will just work." https://jenkins.io/blog/2016/07/07/jenkins-2/ > 3.

You will always inconvenience someone so I suggest some time when it is the weekend or at least after business hours in BC Canada and Italy to minimise disruption, as that is where many developers are. In any case, we can live without Jenkins for a day. Much more important in my view is to avoid release time. This usually happens on the week after the 18th of the month. Note that the GeoTools 15.1 / GeoServer 2.9.1 releases are delayed and are imminent. Releases are performed using Jira automation so it is crucial the the Jira upgrade is delayed until after Devon and Jody have completed these releases.
