It just blows my mind that an "Artifact Evaluation" process wasn't proposed until so recently [1]. "A paper consists of a constellation of artifacts that extend beyond the document itself: software, proofs, models, test suites, benchmarks, and so on. In some cases, the quality of these artifacts is as important as that of the document itself, yet our conferences offer no formal means to submit and evaluate anything but the paper." 1: https://www.artifact-eval.org/about.html https://www.artifact-eval.org/about.html
