Hello Lars,

As you probably know any patch submitted for inclusion in a kernel.org
stable branch must have been accepted first for inclusion in the
latest vanilla kernel. So the above question is equivalent to whether
the development of the OFED kernel components should continue as a
separate distribution or whether all patches should be submitted for
inclusion in the latest Linux kernel. This topic has been discussed
several times on this mailing list. You can find the most recent
discussion of this topic here:

Bart.
