It seems that the beaker plugin knows how to ask Beaker to run Beaker jobs;
It does not seem it knows how to ask it to just allocate hosts, and it does
not seem to manage slaves in any way.

Yeah I wouldn't want to try to go back to that buggy fabric/foreman
combination. And it wasn't allocating slaves anyway, just bare metals to be
accessed via fabric.
But perhaps given the (relatively new) automated hardware discovery
feature, it may be possible to build an allocation flow based on it. Maybe
someone already did that and wrote an appropriate Jenkins plugin.
