Changes are coming, this is why the Gerrit server was upgraded and you
can see some topic branches on the Gerrit site for molcore. We will be
adding support for test builds on topic branches for VTK, but are in
the process of verifying functionality right now. Due to the holidays
several people are unavailable too.

I would like to get to a point where people are only pushing topics
that are ready to be merged, we can perform a test build and code
review and only merge when the topic is considered complete. For VTK
there is a little more work due to the interaction of the VTK and
PVVTK stages, so I need to work with Brad on getting some of this
finished up.
