Jenkins goes south because the people using the system aren't the people configuring the system. Consider instead a system like emacs, firefox, or mpv. Where the plugins/extensions/scripts are selected and configured by the person who's actually using them. Choosing what they want ignore what they don't, the result is a system that's understood by the person who actually uses it.
