[petsc-dev] misleading that ROSW uses SNES

   It is seriously misleading that TSType rosw uses SNES as the solver since it is only using SNESKSP and the algorithm really is built around only linear solves.  Are you sure that using SNES is the right model for this family of algorithms? Convince me.

   I realize one person among us thinks we should use SNES for both linear and nonlinear solves, but he is wrong :-)
