Hi Jeremy,
Alessandro just got the tests working during CHEP, he knows that not all
sites are up and running as we talked about it. The driver behind this
is again WLCG and not the experiments so perhaps the GDB is a good place
where to have a discussion about deadlines.
cheers

However, I am sure sites will increase the local priority if a clear indication of experiment plans is given. Is there a date when ATLAS will set the glexec test as critical?
