SL5 is going to be available in EMI 2, and since it is the default it is assumed that people will deploy on it. I believe the survey is assessing the new platforms that will be supported in order to ensure sufficient staged-rollout testing is in place.

>>> Jeremy, EGI have asked all countries to complete this survey. They have only give us 2 weeks to complete it so they obviously don't expect extensive consultation.
