It is deeply disappointing for those students and mentors affected. It is highly disruptive to the pipeline we are running, and is not a case of simply pressing Pause on GSoC for a year. Many if not most of our students are postgrads, and next year they will no longer be eligible for GSoC.
For a small org two slots can make a huge difference, for larger orgs not being accepted will generally not endanger the project itself. Google is simply trying to put the money where it has the biggest impact. I think that's a good thing.

Please stop accusing people of "trolling" who make the most reasonable comments about things related to Boost. You have mistakenly done this in the past and I really wish you would desist from doing this in the future. If you do not like someone's comments just do not respond to them.
