I guess a question is - why did we need we need UMD releases at all (or EMI) - why couldn't they just carry on with gLite...

> The WLCG baseline versions page was largely written by Markus and has been improved by Maarten based on their perception of the risks to WLCG. It presents the recommendations for production nodes. Staged-rollout nodes will take a mixture of packages depending on what is being tested. The page is also a recommendation and you may feel differently - as Chris did for the StoRM upgrade recently. If we feel something is wrong or unclear we can request a review or update of the page as I have just done for ARGUS.

My understanding was: the sites are being encouraged to use EMI repo from now (and there are DPM packages in the EMI repo) but developers think otherwise. Can't we simplify the whole "repo" business rather than maintaining several repos for the middleware?
