I agree with Dan that this is a big change from the RCM. Further, the approach
in MPI has always been to encourage the users to make it clear to the vendors

Nothing in the standard prohibits implementors from continuing
Hi Rolf,
This is a (somewhat contrived, arguably) reason for taking another tiny step
towards removing the “mpif.h” method of Fortran support and pushing users and
implementations towards preferring the Fortran 2008 interface, which is a
direction of travel that I fully support.
I think this m
