That is certainly too big as a Micro, but I do not think it is too small
for GSoC, if it is to be done right (meaning, not just implementing an
arbitrary version comparison hardwired, but design how to make it
extensible).
I have a feeling that I am complaining that student projects are
designed to be too grand and getting told that I am overly pessimistic
by everybody else every year. Perhaps this year others may prove
me wrong, if we can find mentors, that is ;-)
