Not necessarily. For those solver packages, System::current_local_solution is a serial vector right now, isn't it? So when the duplication is being removed, then the remaining vector (what ever it's name would be) could just as well be serial vector. That would not blow up anybody's code since the memory required for a serial vector, although it can be much, is always less than a serial vector *plus* a parallel vector. The more difficult question is, how to perform things without API changes, i.e. without requiring users to change their code.
