Re: suspected behavior with upgrade scenario : pagadmin 8.8

Hi Anil,
Thanks for replying.
Yes, I understand that it's auto-detected. That is why I did not report it
for a bug. But circulating it through email, I wanted to open a discussion.
Can we somehow avoid it? Otherwise, if there are more than one servers, it
would be annoying for the user to have duplicated servers.
