So I've had some more time to play with this and the shear breadth of Davids work is staggering. I've suggested in the review that it be broken up into pieces so that it can be digested. Some of this work is important to the DotNet core work; David has a port for msbuild and Rosyln that are really exciting. If David is able to chop the reviews up, is there anyone available to help test?
