Github user ahgittin commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/brooklyn-server/pull/338 As for `catalogItemId`, I think we should continue to populate and persist this. It is useful to know from whence something came, and for audit purposes this will become even more important: e.g. which version is it running. I realize for persistence purposes we can get the exact same class back using the search paths, but we want to be able to find instances of `item:1.0` e.g. so we can upgrade them to `item:2.0`, and I think without the `catalogItemId` field we won't be able to do that. WDYT?
