What will the sparse solve for block matrices be replaced with in the next major release? The documentation clearly states that many of the bsr functions in the API will be removed in the next release, but there is no indication of how this functionality will be supported. My first guess is that SpSV will start supporting the bsr format, but I cant see this confirmed anywhere?
We don’t currently plan to support BSR for the triangular solver for the next release. We haven’t found strong enough use cases to invest significant engineering effort and resources on to maintain the feature. Nevertheless, there’s sufficient time before the next update, and we’re open to suggestions from the community.
