Hey now.  These are _your_ people.  You're welcome to come hang out on the C side. ;-)


I don't have a problem with making all PETSc Fortran use free form,
though it may cause significant work for some users.  For example, if
they use #include with fixed-form includes, the change would force them
to either change all their headers to free-form (thus the entire
project), change the headers to polyglot fixed/free, or to tear the
PETSc-related source out into source files that do not depend on the
headers.  I hope there are not many in this situation.
