Hiya,
Can I just ask: has there been a definitive decision as to whether sites
should set this tag or not given as it's part of the generic Glite 3.2
install? I don't mind (though would prefer the 'do nothing' option!) but
it doesn't seem completely clear looking through the various tickets
that biomed have submitted as to whether I should or not...
Thanks!
Mark

However that pretty much stopped being useful when we stopped having monolithic releases with defined version numbers, which I seem to remember was somewhere around 2006 ... at the moment I supposed it may become somewhat useful again with the EMI and/or UMD releases, and I do see a few sites publishing things like EMI-1_0_0 and UMD-1_1_0, but if anyone has defined any standard I missed it.
