First, thanks for reconsidering this and allowing the SiteId to be set but...

Quote: "Skipped doing all the hashing since it isn't deterministic for 
uninstall. Setting the SiteId should enable the scenario very well.  Honestly, 
SiteId works pretty well in all 'controlled environment' cases."

I don't think this statement is true for the following reasons:

1. In the environment I work in, which I don't believe is unusual, there is a 
farm for servers which many different development teams deploy to. Having to 
manually manage SiteId is not easy, (ok we could provide a tool to generate the 
hashed SiteId from the site name). Using the hashing method allows for 99% of 
sites to have unique Ids, for the few that clash this can be handled by simply 
renaming the site.

2. The current method of setting the SiteId to 1 more than the highest 
available isn't deterministic, why is the hash different?

3. Using the hashing method means it work in exactly the same way as IIS6 does.


I know I'm pushing my luck but can I ask you to reconsider again.

Thanks

Neil
