Tziporet,

What do you think? I think that it is worth mentioning because 2 days
ago I already saw that happening in our Boston office. They could not
understand why OFED 1.2 isn't functioning. The reason was that they
upgraded OFED 1.1 to 1.2 without stopping the stack. Mentioning that in
the release notes can really help.
