We use SLES 12 on our JIPPs. And GTK version available here is 3.10.9.
Now moving to 3.14 will make the gerrit jobs to fail for all
components(specifically UI tests). We will need to upgrade our
infrastructure to upgrade OS on all JIPPs. I don’t think that is a
good option considering we are trying to move to Cloudbees Jenkins
Enterprise(CJE). With CJE we will run on an OS configuration of our
choosing
I suggest a delay to 4.12 as I am expecting CJE migration to be
complete by that time.
I think we should take the middle ground here - and bump the min Gtk
version to Gtk 3.10. It would still be an improvement for maintenance
and will make the next round smaller. Furthermore, CJE migration might
need additional cycle (my previous experience with the SLES 11 -> 12
migration) so we would better get what we can now.

Sounds like we have an agreement from the people that touched the
code in the last few years :) .

No doubts, with more resources this would be may be
different, but for now we have no other alternative.
Maintaining this spaghetti code is a Nightmare.
