<div dir="ltr">I think we started this process during the last meeting. It's still not gone, but it's something we're working on. We should try to schedule a time where (at least) the three of us can get together and go over another draft of the text.<div>

</div></div></blockquote></div></div></blockquote></div></div>This is a good comment; talking about a "lock" is informal and useful for discussion, but not good standard-eze. What we mean here is that a process has reserved resources associated with an RMA access epoch, and it cannot release those resources because of a failure. The particulars of when resources are reserved, what they are, and how they are released are only very loosely defined by the MPI spec, so we should try to describe this using fairly abstract language.</div>
