What if it is some great fundamental improvement to BuildSystem (like removing 70% of the code and making the rest a million times better)? We in petsc-dev don't benefit from that? That is freaking insane and stupid! Of course we want all updates to BuildSystem otherwise there are essentially two different repositories evolving over time with different things in each one. That is freaking insane! Who designed this stupid subrepo shit? It is completely garbage if what you say is true.</blockquote>
