Dear all, I will try to clarify with OSG why they close the GGUS ticket with that answer. I agree with Maarten that either they have a proper plan to stop publishing resources in the BDII and announce it officially and make sure it´s not a problem for their users, or otherwise they should publish proper values. Regards, Maria

Hi Paul,
Does anyone know if OSG are planning to drop support for publishing WLCG information via GLUE?
They will not be able to do such a thing very soon AFAIK, as ATLAS, CMS and the WLCG project still have dependencies on the classic info system, even if only to bootstrap various private or derived info systems.
OTOH, OSG have managed to hold off GLUE-2 because none of those stakeholders made a strong case for it so far...
I opened a GGUS ticket describing how some site-level information was wrongly formatted and the ticket was closed as WONT_FIX with the comment that "OSG is deprecating the BDII".
Even if it were true for the long run, it does not mean they can get away with publishing junk already today. However, to get some problem fixed, it may need to be seen as an issue for one of those same stakeholders...
