Well, I was thinking we did not need to restrict MPI_HELPER_* to only MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE, as I think these routines are easily made thread safe independently of the rest of MPI. I would like to see these be more-widely usable.

Convincing the Forum about that is an uphill battle, AFAICT (not sure which way I'll vote on that, either). I'd like to not add that in the initial proposal. If you like, we can create a second proposal chapter (like what we are doing in the RMA WG) with these "additional changes" which will be good to have, but not critical. -- Pavan -- Pavan Balaji http://www.mcs.anl.gov/~balaji
