The steerable parameter interface for CarpetRegrid DOES work for me. Why do
you want to disable it? I often hit various problems with CarpetTracker /
CarpetRegrid2 and just find it easier to use the interface I built to
CarpetRegrid. You can argue that should I find a problem with CarpetRegrid2
I should either fix it or complain about it. But that is much more
time-expensive than to use existing software that works with my thorns.

Then I'll have to remember not to update Carpet.
