Hi all,
this is a short status update on this topic.

I (finally) got around to file bugs against all packages build-depending
on LAM and/or MPICH. To my surprise, some maintainers already did the
transition, which I'm very happy about, and taking at as a sign that
this is a welcomed decision. There were only 10 bugs left, not included
the reverse deps of hdf5. You can get an overview via [1].
There is not much progress so far with respect to changing mpi-defaults
to use MPICH2 instead of LAM on the architectures where Open MPI is not
available yet. This needs a round of binNMUs. Marc Brockschmidt said he
will look at the request to debian-release in the next few days, so this
might resolve soon as well.
I'd be very happy if we could get this transition done before the
release, let's see if that works out!
Best regards,
Manuel
