Was there a specific reason not to cherry-pick this into 2.5(.1)? I would love to have it there, too.

No specific reason, other than that it is a bit largish and no real bugfix. I would not object to having this backported to the 2.5 branch.

Only that it is a new feature.

If you want it backported to 2.5: you need also staging/dune-uggrid!55 (merged) and staging/dune-uggrid!58 (merged).

Thanks I will try that manually. Automatic cherry-picking does not seem to work in this case as it drags in a whole lot of other stuff.
