All,
Please reply to the list with your preference. Action Item: Please send your preference to the ewg mailing list so we can collectively decide the next release. * Agreement to take the discussion to a wider audience - here are the questions: o Do we work 4.17-1, pick up RH7.6/SLES12.4, March/April GA timeframe? o Do we skip 4.17-1, move ahead to OFED 5.0 to get closer to upstream code base and kernel.org RC's?
