[Opensim-dev] Local assets in Grid mode

[Melanie]

You're talking about standalone. I'm not even planning to do 
anything about that. But you know I would eventually like to remove 
that as a mode as well. Right now it's "local assets in grid mode". 
That is a configuration that is not "out of the box", it takes 
manual configuring. You need to do a full grid mode setup. So, it's 
not out 90% case (standalone, SQLite) that is affected, but the grid 
mode + local assets configuration.
