[petsc-users] do SNESVI objects support multigrid?

Ed,
At one time it did. However it has suffered from neglect and bit rot over several years. Part of the reason is that we have had big plans to "do it much better" and hence neglected the old code; while we never "did it much better".
So algorithmically what we implemented as an active set method for the VI with multigrid solving and I feel algorithmically it is a pretty good method (for problems where multigrid works well without the VI). My implementation was a bit ad hoc and didn't mesh great with the rest of PETSc which is why it hasn't been maintained properly. If you would like I could take a look at trying to get it working again as it did before.
