Cleaning up the mpi ports is fantastic! Could we also use this time to
remove lammpi (it has long since died and been replaced by openmpi)?
The only issue I can remember is that the simultaneous installation of
openmpi and mpich is broken.

Also, I still would like all mpi ports (mpich and openmpi … are there
any others still working?) to always have a fortran compiler, would it
be reasonable to talk about that here?
