[mpiwg-hybridpm] Hybrid WG telecon tomorrow

[Dan Holmes]

Hi Jim,

I've just read the MPI_COMM_CREATE text in MPI-3.0 and you are correct 
that the order of statements there is also not ideal.

I'm not certain of where the re-read threshold is - that'll be a Forum 
decision on the day, I guess. Moving a couple of sentences, without 
changing their content, doesn't seem like a big change to me. Especially 
when the consequence of the re-positioning is to achieve syntactically 
what everyone is supposed to assume from the previous ordering. I'll 
leave it up to you! I certainly don't want to make anyone's life 
difficult or delay the approval process for end-points.

I don't suggest that we try to change the text for MPI_COMM_CREATE, 
either as part of this ticket or separately.

Cheers,
Dan.
