I believe that we need to, that the code is there to do this, and needs 
testing. This is not an unreasonable time to start trying this.

If we are to be taken seriously by OSG, and as a Grid, we need to use multiple 
sites.

We can set the priority low for the last anomaly that Tibi pointed out below 
(using 3 sites out of 4).  We decided in 0.1 that we would enable more sites 
to run (although we said there "not multiple").  0.1 is virtually done; we 
have not yet frozen the feature set of 0.2.  This is a reasonable candidate 
feature to consider for 0.2.

People can be focusing and still mention (and file as bugs) things that they 
encounter in testing. They should be able to try things a bit out of the box 
as long as we are making good progress, which we are.
