So in plain words: Intel abuses their influence in OFED to ship crap
that has absolutely no chance to get upstream in the current form
instead of working with the community to improve infrastructure.

That's exactly what I guessed, thanks for confirming.

OFED is a software product of OFA, not Linux.  OFA can put anything that they want in it.  Why do you even care?  It's no different than Intel or Mellanox or any other company shipping out of tree software.

It is different. Mellanox doesn't claim that MLNX_OFED is official
source package for OpenFabrics Alliance and their members.
