If there was some kind of plan, with evidence of the intention to do something 
to get this valuable tech into people's hands in a form they can use, sure. But 
as you can tell, I think this may rot because no one will be able use it. If 
SLEEF were included in the JDK it'd be fine. if SLEEF were a common Linux 
library it'd be fine.
