Thanks Paul.Since we've got this ABI-free upstream with hypre, to save overworking you with future patch updates for little patch version updates (Z in X.Y.Z), I'm thinking to treat them as minor, so proceeding without a formal transition. I can request a binNMU for petsc/sundials/slepc.
Alternatively, more often than not there's a petsc upgrade waiting at the same time as a hypre upgrade (for example petsc 3.12 is waiting in experimental at the moment). Maybe next time we can consider running a joint hypre/petsc/slepc transition. To save the busywork of hypre patch version transitions.
