#4011

I am looking for beta testers and would like to merge this next week. I can do an announcement to users on Slack after the meeting. They need to know in advance because there are some breaking changes they have to be aware of (e.g. OpenMPI not MPICH in the containers).

Outstanding questions:

• firedrake-zenodo will not work until we have version numbers: installing packages in non-editable mode discards git information which firedrake-zenodo relies on.
• Similarly make check also will not work without an editable install. Do we mention it on the website still?

Merge PRs

Note that PRs put in this section should either be trivial or already have been reviewed. Discussion-worthy PRs should be separate agenda items.

PB: Subclass LinearSolver
