Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-11512:
----------------------------------------

I agree that we should not change job names across a dev stream (keep "stable_branch"). What I suggest is that instead of always backporting releng stuff to branch jobs, we could for each new milestone derive "stable_branch" from trunk.
This would work in cases when there are some highly coupling between code and releng that makes backporting difficult. This workflow makes things go more "smoothly", so we don't have to postpone some actions to a new dev stream: If we can get it to work on trunk, it will work on next milestone.

> In Jenkins,
> Since betaX is a fork from trunk, it would be more convenient to find a way to create the betaX jobs and view as a fork of Trunk jobs. It would prevent from having to backport stuff all the time, and would make the jobs follow the same logic as code.
