The load spreading algorithm of choosing the smallest group is in contradiction with the current documentation: > Add a 'reporting' tag (after 'description') with the attribute > 'monthly="true"' and the appropriate "group" attribute, based on the month in > which the podling entered incubation (1 for January, April, July, October; 2 > for February, May, August, November; or 3 for March, June, September, > December).
