Yes, prior to the experimental "Ansible launcher" in Zuul 2.5 (feature merged January 2016), Jenkins was a hard dependency for Zuul. As of Zuul v3 (released March 2018), the Ansible-based executor supplanted Jenkins entirely. Note that Zuul v2 ceased maintenance coincident with the merging of the feature/zuulv3 branch into master, and so the last v2 release was 2.6.0 in September 2017.

It should in theory still be possible to set up an Ansible playbook which triggers predefined jobs in a Jenkins master, but I don't know of any Zuul users actually doing that.

It's not just sometimes for me, I use CRT basically everywhere. Turn the special effects all the way down and you get a remarkably lightweight, scalable terminal which works really well in tiling or full-screen window managers. I particularly appreciate the classic font faces it provides, as I find them FAR more readable than "modern" alternatives (I'm especially partial to its Commodore 64 font).
