I stopped working on JSON this to see where the idea of reimplementing our own XML parser would go. > - OTOH, JSON would be a new feature, and probably shouldn't be introduced > after a x.y.0 release. Yeah but it's a new backend, it's supposed to not touch anything in the core and to not break other backends. > - I could bump OMPI to v1.3, but it's not as mature as 1.2.x, which just > makes me a little nervous (the goal for the hwloc stuff is to bring it in > late in the OMPI v1.5 series... but I've already got some feedback that there > might be resistance to what we're proposing to use hwloc for in OMPI, so > we'll see :-) ). Agreed, v1.3 is too young for OMPI. I am not sure many people already tried v1.3rc1. I wouldn't put it in OMPI before hwloc 1.3.1. Brice
