Why wasn't fast-vector-highlighter (lucene-contrib) made an official part of Lucene 3.0 core

I've read some Jira entries and they mentioned moving fast-vector-highlighter to core about a year ago but it never made it.

Looking at the svn for contrib it seems incomplete.

• There are no tests for FastVectorHighlighter
• Documentation is lacking
• No samples anywhere on apache.org

Anyone have any ideas what its status is?

It is in core on the 3.x branch, available in stable builds and will be in the 3.1 release.
