I see.  I hope that my reply didn't sound overly negative: of course
I'm pleased to have this work contributed.  I think we can work
something out which will be of real benefit, and might well be better
than we could do on our own.

In the meantime, I assume that the AArch64 and 32 projects will
continue on their present course.  Azul have said that they want to
contribute their C1 port, so that work will go ahead.

I can't think of a better place right now than the aarch32 project,
but that decision can wait until you're ready to commit your sources.
