Dear everyone,

I hesitated for quite a while before making this decision, mostly due to 
"if not me, who else?" considerations - but in the end, I feel the time 
has come for me to hand in my OpenPGP keys and retire from Gentoo 
development at the end of June.

These ~8 years have been a very interesting time for me, not in the 
least thanks to my involvement in getting Gentoo Linux ready for 64-bit 
RISC-V and my term on the Council. That said, when Roy mentioned in 
response to one of the other recent retirements that this is supposed to 
be fun, I realised that - with all the obscure test failures I was never 
able to reproduce, the perennial battles for compatibility with 
alternative toolchains and MUSL, the loss of co-maintainers of several 
packages, the growing number of bugs specific to arches I haven't got 
much interest in as far as Gentoo is concerned, and the changes to my 
personal circumstances which began about 2 years ago and have yet to 
conclude - that this has been anything *but* fun for me lately.

I am planning to spend the next 2.5 weeks tackling at least part of my 
current bug backlog. Will see how far ahead I can get with this.

Thank you for your work, ladies and gentlemen of Gentoo. And good luck.
