Hello

I have earlier argued for the maintenance mode of Forrest, and had some plans 
for contributing to areas important to us in divvun.no. Alas, after all these 
years that has not materialised, and I see little chance that we will 
contribute in any meaningful way in the medium-term future.

Given this, the only logical conclusion for me must then be:

+1

for moving to the Attic.

Best regards,
Sjur
