Well, s/Global/Default, but otherwise that, and the other UI is fine.

However, that does mean the path needs to be set for every server (and keep
in mind, I know some users of this code have hundreds registered), and it
also means that we cannot pre-configure the paths in, for example, our
container.

I'd prefer to see all the configuration in Preferences, so we'd maybe have
a grid instead of a text field, containing three columns, one with the
major version number, and one with the path to use for that version. The
third column would be a radio button to mark a particular path as the
default to use in case another path isn't set.
