Not in a long time, I admit...
So it sounds like:
* we should drop regex_v8, telco, and spectral_norm
*Having an explanation as to what a benchmark is meant to exercise wouldn't go amiss
This can wait until we migrate to GitHub.
* Pyston and PyPy have potential benchmarks to steal (although they need to work with at least Python 3.5 to be considered)
No one stepped forward for this on either the PyPy/Pyston or CPython side.

Anyone want the satisfaction of deprecating those benchmarks? How about writing a README file for what each of the benchmarks are for (which will become the README for the future GitHub repo)? And do we want the Pyston and PyPy folks to nominate benchmarks they think we really should add (with a wild hope of finally having a single suite that everyone at least starts from), or should some cpython devs look s at what PyPy and Pyston have and raid their benchmarks?
