To me this schedule seems too short to expect real new features like

 > -         HCA fatal - full flow support

 > *          IPoIB
 > -         Bonding - for high availability

that have had no work done (in public at least) yet to be integrated.
If 1.1 is going to go to code freeze in 19 days then I don't see how
these features can be finished, let alone stabilized in time.

In my opinion it would be better to focus on polishing what was
already in OFED 1.0 for OFED 1.1.  Of course we should work on
valuable features like IPoIB bonding, but I don't think they should be
tied to OFED 1.1.
