Thanks for the link!

I really don’t see it as an either/or; both would certainly be welcome and are 
valuable for their own audiences.

As for the premise of the question, I’m not sure.  Certainly libMesh supports a 
lot of configure options (too many now?), but a default build compiled against 
a binary package of PETSc would be pretty easy to do and valuable for someone 
just getting in to the library.
