If you can just update your scripts to only support petsc-dev, then no big
deal. But if you have a project that wants to support several versions of
PETSc, you would need to maintain multiple versions every time an API
changes. BuildSystem does not have a stable API: try building today's
petsc-dev using BuildSystem from last year or building last year's petsc
using today's BuildSystem.
