I don't really have a preference for doing it before or after the release branch. If the patches are ready, landing them sounds good to me.

As far as I could tell, the only non-Intel contributions were from mechanical API updates or fixing include paths when files moved to other libraries for layering. I'm happy to do it on whatever side of the branch people prefer. ~Craig

If someone wants to revive it, removing it won't actually make that much harder (if at all) given that they'd need to clean up the build as well. Are there any other (non-Intel) devs who contributed significantly or might have specific opinions about this? Does it make more sense to this before or after the branch?

It is currently considered an experimental target. The implementation is not complete and months went by without anyone noticing it doesn't build. See https://reviews.llvm.org/D56178 Due to internal priority changes, it doesn't look like it will become more maintained in the near future. So I would like to propose removing it from the repository. I will put together a patch for review shortly. ~Craig
