It's been used in some clusters AFAIK, but I'm not sure if it's still being actively used. I was considering trying to use it myself in some cluster FNN research work I'm doing. But that's probably still 6 months away if I get to it. Since I'd be having to patch other things anyway, I have no qualms with it going away from mainline... Especially with GigE so cheap today, and legacy PCI bandwidths so low, it's not particularly economical today to route through nodes in an HPC cluster that uses TCP/IP interconnect. I don't know if the webserver/load balancing community would mind it going away though.
