Bronis, the corrections are based on the primary rule that the job of the chapter committee is to guarantee that a new functionality is included in the document in a consistent way. This was done. This was not a correction of the functionality of the nonblocking collective communications. Ticket 109 is the only one that was included and only for this ticket, such consistency checks had to be done. For all other chapters, the rule is "only typo and formatting corrections".

It really seems to me that these changes exceed the guidelines that Rich and Bill have given for the release draft. While I understand the reasoon behind them, it is unclear that we will have reviewed them properly. For example, I think the wording below could use work. This is a clear error and can cause significant confusion on the user's and implementer's side. Most of the text is copied from the point-to-point section and is thus consistent with the remainder of the document (even though I don't like the wording there ("should") at all!).
I am in transit to ANL right now so I cannot go over it properly until at least tonight... Please take your time and check. We are not intending to rush.
Even then, this feels rushed. I don't think there is rush. We can release the document without this fix (with a known bug). That's why I commit each item separately. However, I'm against a release with bugs but that's not my decision.
Thanks, Torsten
