Slim 7 has its own thread already. Its in the Original Android Development section: https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/hammerhead-slim6-alpha-0-1-t3400412

Do you know why AICP, AOKP and DU haven't started an XDA thread? If they want more people to use their roms, isn't this the best place to showcase them?
DU has some issues with the way XDA works. They won't even allow an unofficial thread to be created for their official builds. They threaten to drop support for the device. They've got their own forum, "Dev-Base" where a lot of ROMs are hosted that are not found on XDA. You can check them out.

Everyone will have their own opinion when asked what ROM is best for our beloved Nexus 5, I've tried every Android N build for hammerhead that I can find. I've kept notes, performed benchmark tests, kept battery stats, etc. I've tried to be as neutral & thorough as possible, and for me personally the best ROM is AICP. It's been consistently stable with everything working just as it should. I've gotten the best performance and battery life yet. AOKP is a strong 2nd, but AICP has more features and is very well thought out. I've been using AICP as a daily driver for several days now and have had zero problems. I use it just as it comes with the provided kernel. The only modification is using the Coalfield theme via Substratum. I've been well pleased with this ROM in every area. If I were asked to rank the top 5 ROMs for this device, it would be: #1 - AICP #2 - AOKP #3 - Dark ROM #4 - Oct OS #5 - Pure Nexus

I think it's because they don't have a mantainer for the N5 here in xda, I think I did read that somewhere.
Anyways it's an amazing ROM, it's my daily driver and couldn't be happier with it, recommended to everyone here :D

I'm testing it, so far very fast, smooth and stable ROM with good battery backup. It's pure AOSP ROM, I mean without any Pixel stuff. It has also many interesting custom features :) in fact it's hard for me to compare it to something else :p
About the same as RR or less?
