Also, FWIW, it has been discussed (and agreed, I thought) to include
OMPI v1.3 in a 1.4.x release.

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.
