[gentoo-dev] Tears of unfathomable sorrow

[gentoo-dev] Tears of unfathomable sorrow

[Alec Warner]

Much to the joy of many I am now retiring from Gentoo.  I've already done
most of the work (sorry to burden you kloeri I think just the tree-bits
are left).

Many will wonder why; but this has been a while in coming.  I don't get
along with many like I used to and in many cases I don't find myself
agreeing with the direction of things.  Those who know me know I always
bitched about how I didn't do enough for Gentoo and that too is a reason
for leaving.

I expect to still file patches for portage and I expect to hang out in
gentoo-dev-help on irc and I expect to mentor for this years summer of
code.

For TreeCleaners I'm sorry that this is out of the blue; I hope you guys
continue to nuke broken crap from the tree.

For everyone who still loves working in their little window in gentoo, for
all the devs that only read core and not -dev, for all the devs who made
gentoo what it was when I started; thanks.  It was a fun ride.

-Alec

Not that I didn't see this coming, but I'm still sad to see you go. You'll be 
missed.

This isn't a surprise, but none the less I'm sad to see you go. Back
when I was still struggling to find my feet in Gentoo you were a great
help. Good luck in whatever you do next, I'll miss you.

As you know, I really wish you wouldn't do this.  But if you must, best of 
luck.  I respect you and enjoy working with you.

Sad news, indeed. I only hope you'll take some time off and eventually
come back.

It is a pity to see you go, many users like me will be sad to see you leave.

Oh man.. the one dev who truly understood that users matter. And one of the
nicest people i've had the fortune to talk to on irc. Many thanks for all
you have done for gentoo.

I wish you'd reconsider, but I wish you much luck and happiness with your
future.

*Gutted*.

I might be wrong, but my impression is you can't do that without being a
dev. So how about just hanging on til end of summer? You can stipulate you
won't be involved in anything else..

Thank you very much for mentoring me. I won't forget that.

You'll be missed. Thanks again.

I, for one, have no joy in seeing you leave.

I'm sorry to see you go and I wished you would stay. As that doesn't
seem likely, I hope you may later join us again.
Best wishes for your future endeavors.
