Agreed. I think we should have a conversation about this.
Related #4182
Agree this needs to be discussed and that many of the proposed changes are needed, regardless of whether backwards compatibility is broken. #3927 is also related.
ASPECT has "compositional" fields not only for compositions, but also other properties like grain size and stress (and soon, a lot of other fields with the updates planned by @MFraters). Some material models require certain fields in specific (but different) orders, and different rheologies don't play nicely with the others. With the increasing modularisation of the material models, I think this may become a significant stumbling block.
Some potential improvements:
Some of these changes are likely to break backwards compatibility, so I'm opening the issue for discussion.
