My primary question (which I don't know the answer to) is whether or not variables should be involved in encapsulation. Why do we add variables to models/blocks? Is it simply...

@ghackebeil I agree that your solution works for the two stage problem. It would be more complex in the multi-stage case (which is more similar to my original use case)....

I am not trying to argue that there are not alternative ways to handle this issue. However, I am trying to ask a more fundamental question. Should this be possible?...

> I agree that it is worth discussing. I like the idea about allowing objects to be placed on more than one block / in more than one container. It...

I would like to revisit this issue. It is clear that it is very important to do some error checking when handing a model to a solver. However, not allowing...

Note that options (1) and (4) are essentially the same with different defaults.

I agree that (2) is probably preferable. However, I think the primary motivation for the bound relaxation is to ensure there is a strict interior to the feasible region. This...

That is super helpful. Thanks @bknueven and @adam-a-a!

So we probably want to implement option (1). However, option (2) could also be useful.

This is very close to the top of my list. When is the cuopt release?
