I thought we'll be able to get this in now. Well, on one hand the schedule for the GSoC is unrelated to our release cycles (features for 11.0 were frozen a month ago), on the other hand all features go into the development branch first (12-current at this time) and are later merged, if applicable, to a stable branch. The idea is to guarantee stability making sure the code has lived for a while in the current tree and has received wider testing. FreeBSD has a reputation to maintain and committers usually don't take risks. > In that case, I guess I should submit the links to the differentials for > the final evaluation.

You are always welcome to continue enhancing your code and interacting with your mentors and the community at large but your mentor(s) is expected to evaluate only what you did up to the "pencils down" date.
