That is what many people wish for, me included, but it is not at all
what generally happens :(
In my observation the typical flow is:
- A patch is written, it may or may not be sent to the list
- 'business drivers' get it slammed into OFED right away
- A patch is finally sent for proper review
- It is not merged, there are comments..
- Interest in doing anything is lost because it is already in
OFED and that is all that matters, right?
- People complain.
For instance, the iWarp thingy we were just discussing fits this
process rather well.
