GSoC is over

Mike and I have discussed this (though not in the past few days) for
his projects, and most of his work can be merged -- a lot of it I
requested he hold off on simply so it wouldn't step on any other
students' toes.  He has a few partially-completed efforts (such as
Gtk3 de-deprecation) that turned out to be more work than we had
bargained for that won't be ready to merge immediately.

Sounds like a good idea.

Agreed.  I'm all for merging up anything that can be merged to 3.0;
it's all improvement on that front!
