Great, thanks!

Well our users are life sciences researchers and as a result very few
of those are developers, they are mostly using applications we build
for them on request (or Java and the occasional commercial package).

So from the sound of it 1.6 is the way to go and if we ever hit
something that needs MPI-3 then we'll install that in parallel but
leave the default at 1.6.

Thanks so much to you all!

All the best,
Chris
