Hi Lars, I am sorry to hear that you are sad by this. To be honest, I had expected you were informed about this already. This was requested in #922826 with the argument that our live image builds no longer worked and that it was too risky to rewrite it at this time in the release cycle (I remember some of this discussion from IRC, so it might not be visible in the bug). I have CC'ed the people requesting/supporting this change as they are better suited for answering any questions you have in details but also figuring out where we go from here (even if that ends up being something as trivial as replacing you the maintainer field, so you are not listed at the direct contact point vmdebootstrap longer than you had anticipated). Thanks, ~Niels
