Thanks; I know that back in 2020, it had been a disproportionate

Do you think that the above "stream support" could be that task?

That seems more fuzzy to define and assess (?).
Some ideas (for "Commons Math"):
1. Redesign and modularization of the "ml" package
-> main goal: enable multi-thread usage
2. Abstracting the linear algebra utilities
-> main goal: allow (runtime?) switch to alternative implementations
3. Redesign and modularization of the "random" package
-> main goal: general support of low-discrepancy sequences
4. Refactoring and modularization of the "special" package
-> main goal: ensure accuracy and performance and better API,
add other functions (?).

:-}
Shall we open a "GSoC 2022" report in each concerned JIRA project?
