It seems to me that the removal of the -devel (and possibly -libs) sub-packages from openmpi is a violation of the packaging guidelines. See:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=499851
Perhaps the packaging committee could comment? What to do next? No response so far from the packager (1 1/2 months).

I'm of the opinion that openmpi is packaged very... poorly. I'm not happy about it. I've tried to bring these issues up with the maintainer, but he has a very set world view about such things, and that world view conflicts with the Fedora packaging guidelines.
I'd suggest that you consider escalating this to FESCo, as they are the appropriate entity to look into issues like this.

It seems (on IRC) that there's been some movement on this, but I think it would be good for FPC (or someone on FPC) to summarize the problems with the package so that FESCo can be properly informed if this does escalate to them. I haven't looked at the package personally, so besides the absense of the -libs and -devel packages, I don't know what the issues are.

It sure would be nice to get the file conflicts fixed.
