The status is basically that I haven't yet succeeded at getting Red
Hat's recommended benchmarks running.  I'm told that is important before
we merge it.  I find them super difficult to set up.  I tried a few
weeks ago and basically gave up.  Piles and piles of repos all linked
together in tricky ways, making it really difficult to substitute my own
branches.  I intend to try again soon, though.  I have a new computer
that should be arriving soon, which should also allow it to proceed more
quickly.
