OK, thanks for clarifying this bit, but...

... this bit is still unclear to me. Should OB1+BTL or CM+MTL be the
default ? I have just tried using "mpi_show_mca_params" for both
v1.3b2 and v1.3rc3 and this tells me that:
pml= (default value)
pml_cm_priority=30 (default value)
pml_ob1_priority=20 (default value)
which, from what I know, should lead to CM being chosen as the
default. Still for v1.3b2 OB1 seemed to be chosen; for v1.3rc3 I can't
distinguish anymore from timings as they behave very similarly.
