    Hudson list that existing Hudson installs point to the update site which will push ( and replace ) their Hudson
    installs with Jenkins automatically, and that if they didn’t want to switch they should switch manually to the
    Hudson release thats coming out soon - think of all those who don’t really care tooooo much who’ll update,
    and just go with Jenkins :) Meanwhile, Sonatype discusses Hudsons Bright
