Hi, As you probably noticed, I relinquished my GCC maintainer privileges (including the Release Management bit which was still set.) It was a very difficult decision, but I'am taking on a new rôle that is incompatible with my continuing being a GCC maintainer or contributor. I would like to emphasize that this decision has nothing to do with GCC -- I've enjoyed lot continued strong support from the GCC community.
It has been a wonderful ride over the last 16 years (since enthusiastically embracing EGCS in Summer 1997), later enlisting with CodeSourcery, and so on. GCC and the GNU community have provided me with numerous opportinuties, both professional and personal/private. In fact, it changed my tranquil life as a student at the École Normale Supérieure de Cachan. I've learned a great deal from you. For that, I'm indebted to all y'all. I'll now receide to a simple user; I'll remain active in the C++ community. This is not a farewell, but I will miss you :-) -- Gaby
