Re: FYI: removing `fibon`

[Michal Terepeta]

Ok, thanks Gracjan!

Ben, could I ask you to pull from:
https://github.com/michalt/nofib/tree/fibon
(https://github.com/michalt/nofib.git branch `fibon`)
Or if you prefer Phab, let me know if there's some magic incantation
to make it work with this patch (`arc` currently crashes for me)

Thanks,
Michal

Re: FYI: removing `fibon`

[Gracjan Polak]

I'm not working on it and do not plan to start again.

Looks like fibon never worked and wasn't used for anything, so it should be
removed. Still it would make sense to replace this code with something used
as part of normal nofib test cases.
