Why would these be one option? They are different releases as much as the rest of the 2.x series are. It's also interesting to see if people are on an old version of a release (ie using 2.6.0 instead of 2.6.2). That info could also be later used as an opportunity to indicate with those people the reason why they should upgrade.

The suggestion of asking/making the OAE steering committee aware of the need has come up. The idea would be to explain that a failure of CLE would (1) erode trust in the Sakai brand and probably limit adoption of OAE and (2) damage OAE in the short term since it lacks most of the teaching and learning functionality that is necessary for schools.
