There are two reasons that I have not promoted dcompute to the 
general community up to now:

1) Any resultant increase in support load would fall on one 
volunteer (that is not me) and

2) IMO, a better on-ramp, particularly for those new to 
accelerators, is needed: additional examples, docs, and "it just 
works" install/build/deploy vetting would go a long way to 
reducing the support load and increasing happy uptake.  
Additionally, Nicholas has a list of "TODOs" that probably should 
be worked through before additional promotion occurs.  None of 
them impact my work but they might hit others.

Nicholas opinion on the matter is much more important than mine 
as he already has a non-D "day job" and would bear the brunt of 
a, possibly premature, promotion of dcompute.
