No need if you already know where the bug is...

For a few years it just worked fine. So I wonder why this fucntionality
was removed ?
It is a real BAD case where Pkeys are altered but I think would be wise
to "refresh" these tables on heavy seep.

In general it seems OpenSM has lost its "heavy sweep" concept. Now it
does not refresh the fabric setup even on heavy sweep.
This is assuming a "perfect" HW and software and I would really this we
should have preserved that capability.
Note that a "heavy sweep" does not happen unless somethng changed or
trapped.
