Nice to know there is a plan and it's refreshing to see that they can understand most of the problems from the customer perspective now.

I hope they address the constant shifts in focus with this plan and Jenkins can secure it's market spot, it really deserves it from a historical point of view in the least. It should not be a Nokia or a Xerox, it's better than that and has been a major tool for the industry.

The whole CRD is a great way to move forward, but Argo is looking great right now and it's way ahead, if they manage to finish it soon and make it production ready it will be hard to beat it.

The problem is that every segment has it's player now and there are some big ones, GiLab, GoCD, Spinnaker, Concourse... So many tools and the difference is that most of them have more focus than Jenkins does, they also have newer code and more speed, each has a niche but Jenkins has the market share, it will be an interesting match.

Jenkins is fighting a bit of a uphill battle but with a huge army.

I hope they keep it simple, focus in being the best in one or 2 things and then scale to other areas, that is my 2 cents.
