The name "perfSONAR-RRD-MA-2.2" is given during the installation. It 
might be the default, but it is not obligatory to use it. It could be 
"my-really-cool-rrd-ma-installation" as well, with no other consequences.
There is a point though, that production services should not mention 
version number, so as to have consistency through upgrades. Maybe change 
the default installation URL?
