<P><FONT SIZE=2>1. This attribute is not used also by gen1 code and we checked with customers.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>2. It is not useful since on RQ there any logical flow will work with completions.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Offline, I exchange email with Roland about this attribute.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Seems like we want to know the answer to these questions:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>o is there any code outside of openib.org using this attribute?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>o if so, how useful is it?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Roland is certain none of the protocols in the proprietary Topspin stack</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>uses this feature.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>The reasons roland gave all seemed valid for removal except the fact</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the product has been shipping for a while and thus it's available to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>users regardless of if mellanox supports it or not.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>It's reasonable to remove if no one can show a use case.</FONT>
