Re: Security (Was: OpenMPI 5.0 to be 32-bit only ?)

Hi, The push-back from upstream is that they're unconvinced anyone is actually using i386 for MPI. For example, MPI is configured to use PMIx but its thought that doesn't work on 32-bit, but no bugs have been reported. Either we increase our 32-bit testing regime, or realistically consider
