That depends on your philosophical definition of the word "know", I
think.  If you'd asked me "Can libMesh ever output a hybrid mesh in
Exodus?" I would have said "Not yet"; if you'd then asked me "Can
libMesh output a hybrid mesh in Exodus if no two elements of different
type have the same subdomain ID?" I would have (after a pause) said
"yes", contradicting my previous answer.

But we do still eventually need to implement that "increment/decrement
subdomain ID by element type when writing/reading Exodus" hack we
talked about a while ago.  Just because there's a tolerable workaround
doesn't mean we can't do better.

Confusion cleared up, thanks.
