If I remember correctly, Griggio's benchmarks were ineligible for the
competition because their satisfiability status was unknown. I do not
think that this has changed until now.

Ideally, we (or the SMT-LIB maintainers) would make an attempt to
determine the status of these benchmarks, and then include them in the
competition. However, I am not very confident that there will be enough
time to do this before the benchmark freeze for 2016.
