Similar installation procedure is reasonable to make user's work easier 
but changing names does not give us anything.
I don't see the reason to support different names for micro-releases and 
mdm bundle release. Why just can't we provide a list of services (their 
already existing names and version numbers) which belong to 
perfSONAR-MDM mdm bundle ver. 3.1?

(If we wanted to have a service, being made by US guys, in mdm bundle 
then will they have to change the name as well?)
