Thanks. That's the way I like it too :-)

However, such a policy is not without its own set of issues. The one
that caused me to ask the question in the first place is this:

The folks at openmpi did publish a stable release which compiled
splendidly against the libs installed by
openib-userspace-svn3640-1.x86_64.rpm (thanks to the contributor, btw).

But as soon as I installed openib's latest and greatest, a change of API
caused openmpi to fail to compile. :-(

Oh well, hopefully I'll get around that by grabbing the bleeding edge
from openmpi as well. Or is it reasonable to try and leave the userspace
stuff alone and update only the k code ?
