One thing which we may be missing is Remoting code signing update: https://github.com/jenkinsci/remoting/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#320 . My certificate expires on April 27, and maybe we want to refresh Remoting in LTS. OTOH I do not see any issues with obsolete certificate there. It will be still valid for usage after expiration.

BR, Oleg

Do we even care about signing `remoting.jar` any more? IIUC the only
purpose of doing so was to allow people to attach agents using
`javaws`. But that is scheduled for removal in an upcoming Java
release, and it is anyway easy enough to use the `java -jar slave.jar`
form. Considering how much of a hassle it is to keep this signature up
to date, and how incompatible that notion is with CD and an OSS
project, maybe it is time to drop the feature, or move it to a plugin
where it could be maintained by interested users.

Unfortunately, I know many instances where Java Web Start is still actively used.

Removal of code signing may be extremely painful for them, and I am not ready to support that while I am a Remoting maintainer.

Code signing is easy if you configure it once.

BR, Oleg
