aminer's ideas are not coherently presented in a structure which takes a low
amount of effort to understand them.

The incremental "status reports" make little sense to anyone who has not
been eagerly been following the progress in detail from the beginning.

The work appears to consists of empirical experimentation with a changing
reference implementation of some locks, in combination with some tests, on
particular hardware configuration.  There is no compelling reason to believe
that the results have any general value that translates to the real world.

Distributing .zip files is an outdated method.

The experimentation could easily be summarized in the commit comments in a git
repository. Anyone who cares about the progress could dig through the history,
whose checking comments explain what was changed, what was the intent of those
changes, and how they actually impacted the benchmarks.

Over the course of several months, the author could dig through this history,
and write a concise paper summarizing the empirical findings.
