I don't know exactly what it's for - I believe it's used as an ID in the generated transforms and possibly elsewhere. I know it's ok to change it if you start producing patches from a new baseline MSI. Every time we issue a new service pack as an MSI, I change the baseline to match (RTM,SP1, SP2 etc). Otherwise I keep it the same for all updates based on that baseline.

Below the Media Element in the Patch.wxs file, there is a PatchBaseLine element with an ID attribute. I wonder what the ID attribute is used for except to reuse it on the -t command line parameter for Pyro? I have the issue that if I choose a long PatchBaseLine name Pyro does not like it and crashes. So I would switch over to use e.g. "RTM", but I do not know if there are any side effects that need to be considered here? (e.g. when creating the next patch?)
