[glue-wg] VOTE by 8/1: GLUE 2.1 for describing cloud resources?

[Salvatore Pinto]

Hi Florido,
if ARC or other middleware providers uses this information, do you think 
there is the chance that 2.1 could be recognized as an invalid version 
and thus we will need to update the ARC and cloud middleware providers 
as well?

Cheers,
   Salvatore.
