Matt, your commit
<div class=""><a href="https://bitbucket.org/petsc/petsc/commits/ffbd61634109cd55a4e1889a4f100c5a1bdbfef1" class="">https://bitbucket.org/petsc/petsc/commits/ffbd61634109cd55a4e1889a4f100c5a1bdbfef1</a></div>
<div class="">says</div>
<div class="">Parallel partitioning of uninterpolated meshes not supported.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">So should I now take it as a not-yet-implemented feature?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Does it really concern only this order of operations?</div>

<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">So the following three use cases</div>
<div class="">I) </div>
<blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;" class="">
<div class="">
<div class="">1) load sequentially</div>

<div class="">
<div class="">3) distribute</div>
</div>

<div class="">
<div class="">4) redistribute in parallel</div>

<div class="">II)</div>
<blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;" class="">
<div class="">
<div class="">1) load sequntially</div>

<div class="">III)</div>

<div class="">can still be considered supported in general?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I mean not regarding the issues with the SF which still seem to affect parallel interpolation (<a href="https://bitbucket.org/petsc/petsc/branch/knepley/fix-plex-interpolate-sf" class="">https://bitbucket.org/petsc/petsc/branch/knepley/fix-plex-interpolate-sf</a>).</div>
<div class="">BTW I now rebased this branch onto master as <a href="https://bitbucket.org/petsc/petsc/branch/knepley/fix-plex-interpolate-sf-new" class=""></a><a href="https://bitbucket.org/petsc/petsc/branch/knepley/fix-plex-interpolate-sf" class="">https://bitbucket.org/petsc/petsc/branch/knepley/fix-plex-interpolate-sf</a>-new and
it now needs to take that not-yet-implemented feature into account - I will update it and remind to me what cases are still failing.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks in advance for clarification!</div>
