<p>I know there have been suggestions that binary compatibility could be expendable. I am not aware of any decision that it is "not a goal"<br>
<br>
I remind you all that this survey did not use a good sampling technique.  For example, I suspect most people who solve problems with a code that happens to be written in MPI want their code to just keep working and never saw the survey.<br>

I don't believe that binary compatibility is a goal for MPI 3 and in <br>
the survey users rated it quite low on their priority list.<br>
