I'm all for seeing 608 support modernized, but is there a more
detailed scope defined?  This has been a pretty contentious topic over
the years in terms of how this particular problem is approached, and I
would hate to see a situation where the GSoC person spends a bunch of
time creating something that won't make it upstream.

For a 200 hour project, I would assume we need a better project
definition than what can be found in one paragraph?
