I understand the desire to not release new features in a point release,
but at the same time, these features are ready or near ready now. And
prior features have definitely been released in point releases.
(connectX for example). Another key point is that these features do not
need the kernel rebase that will happen with ofed-1.5, which will take
months...
Just more thoughts. :)

In the past I think that we have agreed to only do bug fixes
in point release and not add major new features.
If we do want to include the new MPI, then perhaps we should call
it 1.5 and pull in the schedule for 1.5. Just a thought.

I think releasing OMPI-1.3 with iWARP support is also good justification.
And there are RDS issues with ofed-1.4 even over IB that I think will
add to justification.

I understand but I think that this is another consideration that should be factored in.
Even if there are no "critical" PRs to fix, the introduction of RHEL 5.3 (along
with less critical PRs) may be enough justification.
I simply want to plant the seed in everyone's mind before our next meeting.
Thanks

In the last EWG meeting, we discussed waiting a month or so and seeing what
kind of bugs
were reported against 1.4 to determine if a 1.4.1 release was needed.

Does the release of RHEL 5.3 create any additional justification for a
maintenance release of OFED (1.4.1) to be generated? I am already hearing
requests for an OFED release that will support it.
