I'm not a mips user, but FWIW from this (amd64) user's perspective, thanks, both for the mail, which I thought was very well put, and for stickin' around. Some of us users found a home with Gentoo, and despite all the "life and times of gentoo-dev" soap opera stuff that seems to go on some of the time, hope it's around for a long while... I imagine myself doing my final sync, fifty years from now or whatever (I'd be ninety), and they come to check on me the next morning, to find death finally synced with me. For that to happen, there'll still need to be some Gentoo devs around creating those packages, so yeah, I'm grateful for all you guys and all your contributions, even when it's "not so fun anymore", and wish you a very long and productive Gentoo devhood! =8^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
