Hi Mike,

There are a few things that are in the way of merging it into a liburcu
release, namely:

* An end user with a clearly defined use-case to allow defining a solid
   API,

* Validation that those use-cases are not better covered by some
   variation of my RCU Judy Array prototype instead, ref.:

   https://github.com/urcu/userspace-rcu/tree/urcu/rcuja-simple-int

* More testing, both within the liburcu project and in terms of use of
   the API from an application perspective,

* Funding for all that work, allowing us to prioritize this effort with
   respect to our various other projects.

Thanks for your interest in the liburcu Red-Black Tree prototype! Please
don't hesitate to reach out to EfficiOS if HPE would like to explore
supporting this project.

Mathieu
