Enhancing the existing Streams library as a possible direction was never 
off the table for the proposed project. I am sorry if that was not clear 
from the proposal. Based on our initial evaluation using multiple 
prototypes, some problems like cracking open lambdas is very important 
to enable offload to accelerators and a solution indeed may need a close 
tie to the JDK.

I would like to thank every one who took the time to provide a lot of 
good feedback for this proposal. We will reevaluate some of the 
logistics related to this effort using all this input.

Regards,
Karthik
