Dear All
John asked me about the general UK feeling if there is no upgrade path for gLite 3.2 to EMI 1.0. You can read the current position of EMI in the message below.
When we discussed this in a sites meeting last month I got the impression that generally there were few concerns, except perhaps for the SEs, but I would like to check if there are any further comments or whether I misunderstood.
Many thanks,
Jeremy
