It's just a snapshot.

This is a different branch than our head of development (master). It tends to
be pretty stable, but it does break sometimes.

Release candidates move much more slowly than the nightly snapshots -- they're
released at controlled points (e.g., we just did v2.0.0rc3, and we're likely to
do a v2.0.0rc4 shortly with just a few more cleanups beyond rc3). Those are
found here:

I.e., you can do the same latest_snapshot.txt thing there:
wget https://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v2.x/downloads/latest_snapshot.txt
wget https://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v2.x/downloads/openmpi-`cat
latest_snapshot.txt`.tar.bz2
