Having received no replies for 2 weeks as to why it is useful to have MVAPICH in the OpenFabrics SVN, I can only conclude that no one cares. If someone does care, please respond to my original questions included below ASAP (originally posted 23 Oct, 27 Oct, 1 Nov).
I therefore make the motion to remove MVAPICH from the OpenFabrics SVN (all the source is still available via the OSU SVN and other distribution points). Specifically, I motion to do the following around COB tomorrow (7 Nov 2006): svn rm https://openib.org/svn/gen2/trunk/src/userspace/mpi Any objections?
