There have been a bunch of updates that have (rightfully) not been back-ported 
to the 1.2-ompi branch.

Is 1.3.x stable/mature enough for me to move into OMPI?

I have two targets:

* Open MPI v1.5 series: we're just about to release the final Open MPI 1.5.x 
and transition it to the v1.6 series (i.e., bug fixes only after it is 
renumbered to 1.6).  Is hwloc 1.3.x a good candidate here?  As Paul noted, 
without some of the recent fixes, OMPI 1.5.5 won't run on older Linuxes (e.g., 
Fedora 8).

* Open MPI trunk (which will eventually become the v1.7 series): it's ok to be 
a bit more forward-looking here.  I'm actually pretty convinced that this one 
should be upgraded to hwloc 1.3.1 (or whatever the latest set of fixes is) in 
the near future.

Thoughts?
