The plugin installation statistics show that Jenkins 2.440.3 or newer is already used by 80% of the installations of the most recent release and the most recent release is used in 75% of all installations. Jenkins 2.440.3 also includes a security fix that is good for users to deploy.
BOM updates have stopped for bom-2.426.x so this will also continue updating plugin dependencies by switching to a bom version that is still receiving updates.
Change also removes the duplication of the Jenkins baseline as has been done recently in the plugin archetype. Refer to:
