There’s also an issue with graph_parallel where some examples don’t compile in master due, apparently, to some un-merged changes from develop.  This issue was reported by Eisuke Kawashima.

Given that MPI and graph_parallel are entirely broken on master right now, please cherry-pick the serialization fix to 
master, either now or when the tests finish - it can't be worse for sure. We'll include the change in release.

graph_parallel/example breakage should not hold the release, I think.
