 Hmm, why? I believe the decision was that those dependent packages where told to fix themselves to use the latest ParMetis and until then they are not usuable from PETSc. Are we going to fix SuperLU_Dist, UMFPACK, MUMPS, etc etc. all ourselves to work with the latest Parmetis. That is a downstream?/upstream? problem not ours.
