<div dir="ltr">The situation is similar to the OpenCL thorns: They are part of the Einstein Toolkit, part of the release, should be tested (where possible), and should be disabled by default in the thorn list since we assume most people won't be using them.

If they are in the release, we need to test them as part of the usual process. This will be awkward if they are commented out. Everyone will have to remember to uncomment them before running the tests. The automated test system also doesn't know that they should be tested.</div>

Right. That's because they are commented out in the standard thornlist.<br>
Is this so because they don't build in a lot of places? With them being<br>
commented out they very likely don't receive much testing...<br>
