The first rc for the 1.4 release will occur soon (target is this week). So, merging it after the 1.4 release seems preferable. But you can submit a PR with the changes now. For the PR, it is helpful if you separate out all changes to the libfabric core into its own commit(s). - Sean _______________________________________________ ofiwg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/mailman/listinfo/ofiwg
