Yes, more Graphite merges are planned. The VTA merge broke Graphite
and we are waiting for Alexandre's recent VTA fixes for Graphite to be
updated based on the initial feedback from Sebastian and merged into
the trunk. Then the patches from Graphite can be merged.
Please keep in mind that Graphite is experimental and not a panacea.
If you and your colleagues want Graphite to be able to apply more
high-level loop transformations and want it to be more effective with
better tuning, please help implement the optimizations.
Thanks, David
