Comment 23 for bug 714043

OK, I think I now understand what Leonard's saying.

He's not actually proposing to change the meaning/binding of LPNET_SERVICE_ROOT. (I think that would be a bad idea and likely to break client applications. Bug 719144 argues against this, but it looks like the change is not actually landed.)

Rather, for clients targeting Maverick's launchpadlib or later, he wants them to specify say 'production' or 'staging' rather than a specific URL. That's ok with me.
