Bad bad bad. I suggest this be brought up at the next LCG workshop, and
possibly at the GDB as well.
I have sympathy for the problem, but we should not fix problems in the
middleware by making the lives of 100+ people (the sysadmins)
difficult. And especially not without agreeing with these people
beforehand. CERN has a totally different set of constraints than most
sites.
Absolutely unacceptable: "configure your site like CERN does, or else
the software will not work". Next we will be told "install CERN
Scientific Linux or else the software will not work". What's next,
"send us your computers and we will install them and run them here??"
This is why the authors of EGEE JRA1 part of the proposal suggested to
NOT have the integration team at CERN. That is back when we thought
that JRA1 would be doing this, not LCG ;-)
