Hi seaice modellers,

while I am struggling to convince TAF,  that it should write  
vectorizable code, I stumbled over this old flag:
SEAICE_OLD_AND_BAD_DISCRETIZATION
Defining this CPP-flag turns on a discretization that is not yet that  
old (6months or so), but really bad. We kept this in the code to make  
sure that we can recover old results (in particular for CS510 and ECCO  
GODAE). I personally never want to use this code again, so I am much  
in favor of removing this code (because it sometimes means that I have  
to code "innovations" (in German: Verschlimmbesserungen) twice). Is  
there anyone you still needs this code? Can we retire this flag? (It  
means changing the seaice part of global_ocean.cs32x15)

Martin
