[Dune-devel] Reduce number of core modules?

[Oliver Sander]

Hi Christoph,

apologies, but I disagree.  Modules were introduced to enforce a clear
design and structure onto the Dune code, and I think that goal is as
relevant today as it was when we introduced the modules.

I don't think so:
a) CI has automated lots of that testing, and it currently scales well
b) Our build system is overly complicated, AIUI it a lot of stability
   and speed can be gained by simplifying and modernizing it.
c) Random users should really use distribution packages, and not build
   each and every module themselves.

The only point that I would agree with is not on your list (merge dune-uggrid
into dune-grid). And that one has been officially voted down before.

Best regards,
Oliver
