[Mpi-forum] MPI_Initialized, MPI_Query_thread, MPI_Is_thread_main

[Jeff Squyres]

I agree that they are related, but 302 does not introduce any new issues in this arena.

I'd be happy to read it, but I don't think there's room on the agenda -- it's already packed with 15 formal readings, last I checked.  :-(

That being said, since this is not a new problem, my $0.02 is that it could be fixed in 3.1, and therefore not be constrained by the 3.0 January deadline.
