Please be realistic. That is impossible. We want 1.0 now. Besides I do 
not see why this is really so important NOW. Yasp and UGGrid have 
IndexSets for all codims and that is enough to do finite elements.
There is absolutely no man-power to do this.

There are no resources to do the parallelization of UGGrid NOW. This has 
to wait for a later release.

That is nice, and UG has backup and restore but there are no resources 
to incorporate this for the 1.0 release.

Why does it have to be unified? There should be some way to read a
unified coarse grid format in all grids.

Please let us be realistic. The aim is to have a stable and sufficiently 
powerful 1.0 release of DUNE. Let us use the rest of the week to discuss 
about the term "sufficiently powerful".
