   Huh, what? We don't want to require an explicit interface! Where is this change? What is the url of the change you made? Did you put it in petsc-dev or petsc-3.3?  Why do you need to change it to require an explicit interface.

   Be like Jed and when you say you made some change include the url business so people can jump immediately to the change you are talking about instead of wasting 1/2 and hour trying to find something they cannot find.
