Not quite right.

The standards committee is considering adding parallel I/O to
future MPI standards.  It is possible parallel I/O will not be 
added to future versions of the MPI standards.  It may be that 
MPI implementors decide not to implement parallel I/O even if it 
is added to a future MPI standard version.
