To your last question the short answer is: the obsolete one is the ompi_convertor. About two months ago, most of the datatype was moved from the OMPI layer into the OPAL one. When I say most this means everything not MPI specific was moved in OPAL, everything else was kept in OMPI. The convertor is MPI agnostic so it ended in OPAL.
To be clear about this: if you're using the convertor from the MPI layer, you should probably be using ompi_convertor. ompi_convertor wasn't fully deprecated -- as George mentioned, a bunch of it just moved down to OPAL.
If you're using the convertor from ORTE or OPAL, you should be using opal_convertor.
