[Deploying Sakai] Possible to downgrade Sakai from 2.6.1 backto 2.5.x?

[Nguyen Tam Chinh]

Hi Alan & Aaron,

Thank you so much for your response. Seems we could not roll back
easily because people already worked a lot on the current 2.6.x
However, we found a related kernel bug
(http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/KNL-263). We have mixed-cased eid
as well. Let us try to use the patch suggested in that bug report +
force lower case all eid. Will update you guys asap.
