I am sorry for missing the call - something local came up...

I agree.

Some remarks:

- What machine is 105aff02?
- Why are the Dissipation testsuites failing on 
  BW/Comet/Edison/Cori/Golub/Hydra? (ADMConstraints? ... see below)
  On BW they don't seem to produce output at all, but on the others the
  same number of sufficiently different files suggest a common cause.
- sphere_pugh_ppm is one of the 'fails a bit sometimes' thorns, and has 
  been for a while. It's not a release-blocker, but a candidate we
  should look at. This might very well be a not optimal testsuite setup.
- RotatingSymmetry90/180 testsuites also seem to fail on 
  Golum/Edison/Cori. I seem to remember that, like Dissipation, they use
  ML_ADMConstraints results in the testsuite. Could you please check
  if the workaround is already applied in the source that is tested
  here, i.e., if the workaround does not work here?
- We should probably disable OpenCL for BW if not even the WaveToy works 
  there: keep it commented out in the optionlist, but don't enable it by
  default, because it might fool people in thinking it should work.

Overall, this looks really quite good - in fact, better than at some 
other times for a release.

Keep adding/updating testsuites, I'll prepare release notes and get 
everything ready for a release. For now, I will not create release 
branches before that status of ML_ADMConstraints is sorted out (patch is 
in the works, but not in master and not widely tested yet).
