Hi,
I have worked out a rough draft for the use of environment-modules
instead of alternatives. Feel free to comment or modify it.
I'd also like to suggest a feature that all MPI compilers/libraries use
solely environment-modules (no alternatives support). Currently, the
only MPI compiler in Fedora that still uses alternatives is mpich2.

+1 for the proposal as well as for the suggestion regarding MPI
compilers. I'm currently working on orsa to use the MPI via
environment-modules, the way OpenMPI is currently packaged is just fine
and it would be great if packages of other MPI implementations would
follow it.
Thanks for writing this up,
Milos
