That is correct and has always been the case.
Those are excellent questions that I have asked as well at various times :-)

anything about what the MPI level will do? Moreover, this is quite confusing as
there are no communications layers in OPAL so one can ask what an O
I'm not going to commit this today - I think it would be a little quick :-)
However, I do have it all building on a Mercurial branch with the new options.
It would be REALLY GOOD if people interested in thread support were to check
