-            eg: 2.387.3 is reasonable when you need older LTS version that doesn't
-                have too many detached plugins.
-                2.414.3 and 2.426.3 make good core dependencies. 
-                2.440.1 if you need, say, newer features
-            The 2.xxx.1 are the first release of a given line
-            The 2.xxx.3 are typically the last releases of a given line
-            2.387.2 is the oldest LTS currently supported by the Jenkins update center.
+            At the moment, the Jenkins releases 2.440.3 and 2.452.4 make good core dependencies. 
+            You could also consider 2.462.1 if there are specific reasons, like new features, to want something newer.
