He does not need to decide and that's the point.
It also means that the spec/packjage for OpenMPI are the same in all coming
SUSE release and do not depend on what versions are available.
If we want to have only one, from which openmpi version should we produce the
-config RPM ?
Depending on the OS release, different openmpi packages are available (openmpi1
will soon be replaced by openmpi3 for example)

The current way makes maintenance easier as we can keepo the package in sync
whatever versions are available.
