This seems like a major failure in the process that this was
allowed to happen - good work almost went abandoned. How can we
prevent this in future SAoC/GSoC? Without knowing what the
mentor did/didn't do, an obvious answer seems like there should
be a follow-up to ensure that the work done is actually getting
in to the compiler/runtime/etc. To go so far and trip right at
the finish line is unfortunate (glad to see that a PR is now
open).
I've been really liking the progress updates that the GSoC
students are doing this year.
