Yes, I strongly support that, although the OFED benefits are just a
side effect to me. The real reason to have these releases is to
support distributions other than OFED -- for example having tarball
releases of all the components makes it possible to get this stuff
further upstream into real Linux distros.
eg I have gotten libibverbs/libmthca into Fedora Extras and
Debian/Ubuntu, so users of those distros can install them natively
using standard distro tools.
