No no no... I really appreciate the sentiment, but no sadness please. :)
Good luck with everything and keep in touch and using Arch. You sure you want to quit all the teams? I've seen you more active on the forum than this list; maybe you don't want to give it all up at once. (Apologies for sounding like a quit smoking ad)
hehe.. no problem, Dusty, and thanks for the good words. I haven't made any decision yet regarding the mod team - I want to talk to Jules first. Similarly for the irc op role. T.
Cheers and good luck, it's been a pleasure working with you. (On the forum I mean -- our duties as devs don't overlap much)

Hi all.
The practical effect of this message is precisely nothing, as I have been inactive for quite a while now. For the last few months, real life has been increasingly demanding, but I was hoping I would find a way to accommodate Arch activities alongside the usual chaos and mayhem.
It's now clear that this is not going to happen any time soon, so I've orphaned my remaining packages, and I'm now returning the key to the Arch executive washroom.
I hope to return at some point, but I can't say when that will be. Being an Arch dev has been a revelation to me, and it has been wonderful working with you all. I will continue to be a keen Arch user, and will do my best to contribute in some capacity, as time permits.
I would like to retain my subscription to this list, read-only of course, and I will discuss my status as forum mod and irc op with the respective teams.
I have no doubt that Arch will continue to thrive, guided by an extraordinarily committed dev team, and supported by an enthusiastic user community. I wish you all the very best of luck.
