If the programs don't build/run with the latest GA external packages, they will be shown as "Make Error" "Bad Output" "Failed" until someone updates them.

It would do the project’s web site a big service to actually link prominently to this repository, if this site is in fact canonical.

A zipped source code archive inside a Git repository is very surprising (violation of principle of least astonishment). No wonder I couldn’t find the benchmark programs’ source; they aren’t even indexed for code search due to residing in a zip file.

And, of course, there was a time when the website did "link prominently to this repository" — back before July 2020, when "new source-code was usually measured and shown on the website within a few days."
