I'm not sure. He was basically told to redo it as ArrayBuilder rather than changing Appender, since changing Appender would break a lot of code, and his changes arguably made it so that it wasn't an appender anymore anyway. But he has yet to post a new pull request with those changes. - Jonathan M Davis
