It might be reasonable for QA admins to use the MOTD to state the 
version the server is running. Especially if it's different from 
Confluence or the "usual" state. I actually do this locally to 
indicate "No UTF-8" for the database.

Asking people to run multiple servers on multiple ports is, I 
believe, a little much. We have a hard enough time maintaining 
one up-to-date instance per server with our already overworked 
volunteers.
