Support stop GCE instance instead of Termination about google-compute-engine-plugin HOT 6 OPEN

Since #78 has been closed as "won't fix", is there any chance that support for GCE stop instead of termination might get picked up again? It would be super useful for my team & myself.

This issue will be resolved once we migrate to using managed instance groups: #78

Not sure this will be solved by instance groups. Feature requested is something EC2 has here: https://github.com/jenkinsci/ec2-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/hudson/plugins/ec2/EC2RetentionStrategy.java

Moving to InstanceGroups would allow us to remove the manual management of nodes and delegate that to the IGs. Happy to discuss further offline if you'd like.

+1 for this to be reconsidered. It would avoid lots of lengthy rebuilds from scratch.

This is worth looking into. I've read through the instance groups discussion and agree that doing that work would require a tremendous amount of rewriting, but just stopping the instance and keeping it available for starting up again would be very nice.
