Hi Emmanuel,

I have one small request while you're updating openmpi.

The file etc/pmix-mca-params.conf.new is installed, but it's not being
config'd from doinst.sh.  I don't know if the option suggested above
would result in more/fewer/different files that would also need to be
config'd.

Thanks!
