Tziporet, there is some guidance on this question from the Bylaws:
"...ARTICLE 14. MAINTENANCE OF AND MODIFICATION TO OPENFABRICS
SOFTWARE STACKS
14.1 Updates. By a majority vote, the Board or its designated
Working Group may at any time update an OpenFabrics software stack
for the sole purpose of making error corrections or updates (e.g. a
subnet manager change, additional driver, or operating system
release synchronization) that do not substantially alter or augment
the functionality or capabilities of an OpenFabrics software stack.
The Board or Working Group may publish such updates subject to the
terms of Article 13.
Has the XWG (or some other group) been voting on all the "updates"
that have gone into OFED over the years?
14.2 Modification. Once an OpenFabrics software stack has been
approved, published and released, any additions or alterations (but
not updates) that substantially augment (e.g. a new transport, or
operating system) the functionality and capability of such
OpenFabrics software stack shall follow the procedures for approval
of a Proposal in Article 12..."
What does "an OpenFabrics software stack" mean -- is that specific to
a release series such as 1.4.x? Or does it effectively mean the
entire OF stack, regardless of version? I ask because the MPI change
is proposed for v1.5. Since 1.5 doesn't exist yet, is it covered by
14.1 or 14.2?
