While MOFED is indeed a giant mess, the mlx5 upstream driver is not some token effort to generate good will and Mellanox certainly does provide full commercial support for the mlx5 drivers shipped inside various enterprise distros. MOFED also doesn't have a big functional divergance from RDMA upstream, and it is not mandatory just to use the hardware. I can not say the same about other company's RDMA driver distributions, Daniel's description of "minimal effort to get goodwill" would match others much better. You are right that there are a lot of enterprise customers who deploy the MOFED. I can't agree with their choices, but they are not forced into using it anymore.
