I wholeheartedly agree. He could of also read my comment on his original story which I made at http://phoronix.com/forums/showthrea...609#post203609

As a user it doesn't matter too much to me whether it's a GSoC project or not. I'm just looking forward to being able to use the result. However it probably matters a fair bit to Google.
