 Different archive DB schema
 Changes in communication protocol between

 Patches needed for a distributed system consisting of a
3.1 and 3.6 mixture (possible performance and stability
issues)

software compatibility (for example ALICE UI)
 New FW developments will carried out only for
PVSS-II v. 3.6
