Brian notes that his institution customizes fairly heavily, which does bring a lot of challenges to upgrading the software. This brings me to another question for the group. What kinds of customizations do you have at your institution, and why?
We have very little at SNHU outside of branding, customizing search parameters and changing the brief item display, mainly because we don't have the resources to support a lot of customization.

We're running 1.6.2 XMLUI on RHEL. We started with 1.3.2, whenever that was, it gets hazy. Our philosophy is not to be bleeding edge, so we generally don't jump on a .0 release, but we do want to remain semi-current, so a .1 is ok. We also have a devil of a time with prerequisite software (we almost were not able to upgrade to 1.6 due to Ant, and we will have to wait for 1.7 because RH isn't offering a late enough version of maven.) We customize fairly heavily, and that is always a challenge, but almost always possible because of great community support.
