CentOS - Dec 2013 - compat-openmpi issues after upgrade to CentOS 6.5

Just wondering if anyone can shed some light into an issue we are having 
with compat-openmpi after upgrading CentOS to version 6.5

Some of our cluster applications are dependent on an older version of 
OpenMPI, so we are using compat-openmpi. Up to CentOS 6.4 this was 
version 1.4.3:

% /usr/lib64/compat-openmpi/bin/mpirun -V
mpirun (Open MPI) 1.4.3

but after the upgrade to CentOS 6.5 it suddenly reports version 1.5.3:
% /usr/lib64/compat-openmpi/bin/mpirun -V
mpirun (Open MPI) 1.5.3

But rpm/yum still reports that version 1.4.3 is installed:

% rpm -qv compat-openmpi
compat-openmpi-1.4.3-1.1.el6.x86_64

Is this deliberate, or has someone erred?

* Also include 1.5.3 libraries so users of RHEL-6.5+ can run
  programs compiled on RHEL-6.2-

So, I would say that, yes, it is on purpose.

from the changelog:
* Wed Aug 14 2013 Jay Fenlason <fenlason at redhat.com> 1.4.3-2
* Also include 1.5.3 libraries so users of RHEL-6.5+ can run
  programs compiled on RHEL-6.2-
  Resolves: rhbz876315

* Thu Oct 13 2011 Jay Fenlason <fenlason at redhat.com> 1.4.3-1
- New compat package to make users of openmpi-1.4 on RHEL-6 happy.
  Resolves: rhbz741009

so the support for 1.5.3 is on purpose, no idea if both 1.4.3 and 1.5.3 should
be both available at the same time, or if the support for 1.5.3 is also backward
compatible with 1.4.3. I would need to search ;)

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=876315 is not public :(

Cheers,

Tru
