DMSIEVE, makes perfect sense, like PCSPAI

How about DMXQZ because it sounds faster? I see no problem with naming software components like motorcycles. I think DM names should reflect the interface that users see when using them to build the algebraic ingredients like residual and Jacobian. Sieve is certainly not the "standard" unstructured grid interface, so I think it can have a non-generic name, even if it is completely general.
