I have not watched too much football this year, but I did see
the Pats play the other day, and they still look pretty darn good,
so I would not count them out yet.

I was thinking more about what is coming in the future (for 2.0)
for things like the core, opensm, RDMA support etc.

Agreed. Let's focus on what needs to be done going forward and
not too much on what has been done, other than what, if anything, needs to
be
