Dear Martin and all,

Note: while #379 is for a 2 nd vote, this still needs some discussion whether we really want to do this or not – comments welcome!

The issue #379 with its PR https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-standard/pull/737 seems to be not ready for voting: - The PR 737 states [ X ] Check all chapters for potential changes but this is not true. The word "external" exists 172x in the MPI standard (current MPI-4.x). Several of them are related to external interfaces. - The PR 737 is reviewed only by one reviewer and it is unclear whether he checked all the 172 locations of "external". I expect not. - The already mergend issue #645, PR https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-standard/pull/767 added new MPI procedures to section 13.3 "Associating Information with Status" which belongs to Chapter 13 "External Interfaces". The new routines are - MPI_Status_set_source, - MPI_Status_set_tag, and - MPI_Status_set_error. The corresponding get procedures are defined in Section 3.2.5. When I understand correctly, these routines are helpful when implementing a new language binding on top of the existing C binding, or for tools. The new chapter name would not fit to this section 13.3. This was already detected by Chhrisoph Niethammer, Feb 8, 2023, see https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-standard/pull/737#issuecomment-1422524685 Therefore, I recommend to withdraw this issue from the list for voting.
