some examples:
- putting in a new version of some software, and and trying it out
before releasing it to the community
- having a well-known, scheduled time for releasing certain volumes
to ensure that files become available at an approximately-scheduled time
(useful for website management, or for dealing with vos releases of very
popular volumes typically near the top of an afs tree)
so...instead of doing random vos releases, in some sites you need to
coordinate the vos releasing of volumes, schedule some, or do some only
on request.
depends on the usage in the cell and what you need to accomplish.
