Comment:
> 1. `libibmad` has been subsumed by `rdma-core`, not really "removed". This is an important distinction for people who might attempt partial updates.

I have been under the impression the unused package (no reverse dependencies) can be safely removed, but since some people might *need* `libibmad`, I see no harm to try and symlink it to `rdma-core`.

> 2\. Just dropping the template will still leave the old `libibmad` in repositories, which will stage the repos the next time `rdma-core` bumps the soname of `libibumad.so.3`. That would require manual cleanup, usually at the least opportune time.

libibmad and libibumad are two different libraries, Andrew.

Even if `libibumad`'s soname gets changed at some point, libibmad plays no role here.
