-Release 16.0 Scope
-------------------
-
-The scope of the release is to be executed on a controlled environment.
-It has been proven to run on newinstall.sh environment, and it is expected
-to run without problems on a package baseline that corresponds to what 
-installed by newinstall.sh version 16.0.
-
-Any deviation from that baseline may imply that that the results are 
-different from the expected ones, i.e. running the corresponding 16.0
-demo package.
