Resolution: Won't Fix

Major
contingency:: should Jenkinsfile's appear to be too low level for common build tasks, if plumber is not available, we are able to ship some pre-made global libraries for common tasks.
Including
- simple notifying via hipchat/slack (without having to write scripts)
- building inside docker
- maven build and archive of test results
- publishing docker images
- deploying to common targets
BlueOcean already has a dependency on pipeline, so these can be encapsulated in a plugin and shipped with it.
How this is done is described here: https://jenkins.io/blog/2016/04/21/dsl-plugins/
(interested if imeredith has some suggestions of what to include out of the box).
This helps the UX for new users of Jenkins.
When a user creates a new pipeline (ie selects a repo) if there is no Jenkinsfile, we can offer these as samples to use.
