[openfabrics-ewg] Re: How to generate IBEDreleasesusing 1.0branch

[Matters, Todd]

But both are sanctioned by OpenFabrics; IBED by the EWG and Release 1.0
directly by the board.  With the establishment of the EWG by the
OpenFabrics board the consortium of vendors hardening the stack became
an arm of Open Fabrics.  If they're both sanctioned by OpenFabrics I
don't see why both can't, eventually, be a single release process.  

In any event, again, I think it's too late to change anything for this
release.  And I'm happy with the characterization we've been discussing.

I think that trying to have a commercially supportable distribution
come directly from OpenFabrics is both not feasible and actively bad
for OpenFabrics and the industry.  Let the free software project focus
on what it does best, and have it produce a release that is targeted
at distributors, who can harden it and get it to customers.
