Seems reasonable to me to have smaller plugins with focused features,
and a little competition. I would not object to hosting as is,
provided that plugin wikis clearly link to alternatives.
IIUC the main differences between your plugin and the `Cloud` portion
of the `docker` plugin are
· Different client libraries. No clear winner yet.
· Slave launcher: yours uses JNLP; `docker` plugin currently ships
SSH, has JNLP support in code but disabled.
If you can later reach consensus with the `docker` plugin devs on the
approach to take for a general-purpose Docker cloud provider, it
should be possible to unify code into a new plugin release. Automatic
migration of user settings will be a bit trickier but is possible.
By the way your comparison chart neglected to mention
https://github.com/ndeloof/docker-slaves-plugin
which is a novel approach that I think is very promising.

Needing to do TLS and JNLP rose to the top of my stack last week, and I was pleasantly surprised that most of the initial work had already been done for the latter. I was rather less pleasantly surprised that - though there were bugs and someone had submitted a PR that effectively made the feature work (maybe not in all eventualities, but sufficient for many cases) over 2 months ago, but had effectively been told to 'go away’.
To me, that's not the right approach for a whole host of reasons - the pertinent one being that it drives a 'not invented here' culture that leads to duplication because dealing with the gatekeeper becomes too painful.It could well be that some plugins could be folded together.

PPS From tech viewpoint i see that "ephemeral cloud" has queue lock issues and shading. But if this plugin solves user issue, then it should be hosted and allow people experiment on it.
