 `weak_form_kernel!` is only implemented for conserved terms as 
-non-conserved terms are supposed to be always applied in conjunction with a flux-splitting scheme, 
+non-conservative terms should always be discretized in conjunction with a flux-splitting scheme, 
 see `flux_differencing_kernel!`.
 This treatment is required to achieve e.g. entropy-stability and well-balancedness.
