Just is just my opinion, but in the past, OFED has included non-standard
features, like extended connected mode, that are still not part of the IBTA
spec.

Do we know if such a feature would be accepted into the Linux kernel?  I think
OFED should base their decision more on the answer to that question than IBTA
approval.
