One thing that has happened visibly starting around December 2017 is 
that most activity has moved onto github. I can barely keep up with the 
action going on in there. This is good on many levels, among which 
obviously there's progress being made. Also, on github it's much easier 
to keep things on track because the implicit goal is to reach a binary 
conclusion pull/not, whereas in idle forum discussion the implicit 
incentive is to keep discussion going. -- Andrei
