Hi,

The tracer variables will (in the future) be needed to consistently evolve mass fractions of various elements (for use in a low-density EOS and in a nuclear reaction network) that must sum up to one without Y_e.
We should at that time probably also talk about a special status for them, leaving the tracers as general purpose tracers. But we don't need to discuss that now.
Hence, it makes sense to promote Y_e to special status.
Please speak up if you have objections.
I don't object, assuming that this can be disabled, and is by default.
As to the timing: please wait with this change until after the next release of the ET (which should happen soonish)?
