Well, as you may know, OCI's version is upstream. The DOC group uses a
snapshot version for ACE+TAO[0] development, and this is the version
packaged as mpc-ace. You may find out that the mpc-ace version is
outdated.

If that happen please let me know, and together we'll move toward the OCI
version, therefore deprecating mpc-ace. I know that ACE+TAO can be
compiled with OCI's MPC with some tweaks.

I don't need to mention this ITP in ACE+TAO packages changelog.

As soon as you have find out that mpc-ace MPC version fits your needs,
i.e. you can build your package with it, then you can close the ITP
by yourself stating that oci-mpc is not needed because of mpc-ace.
If mpc-ace does not fit, we'll use this ITP to move to OCI's version.

Do you agree ?

Thanks,

Thomas
