We are still discussing this within the OFA EWG for the OFED releases. I suspect that if all of the maintainers of the user-space packages agree to merge into and support this new merged repo-model, then OFED would eventually base their OFED user-space packages on that repo, rather than the individual repo's that are used today. The question is, when. Work has now just started on OFED-4.8, that is based on the kernel.org 4.8 kernel. If this new scheme works with kernel.org 4.8, then it is possible that it could go into that OFED-4.8 Release, but again, we are still looking at the new scheme and evaluating how it affects the community OFED.
