It is sad to be removed from there but equally, I haven't had the time
to spend on it for a while and it is justified. I am still around, I
have been reading some of the patches, there are just other things which
are more in need of my time (the Yocto Project primarily). I'd done what
I'd set out to do with the backlight/leds subsystems and its time to let
others take them forward. So a credits entry sounds nice and probably
more appropriate now, thanks :)

Cheers,

Richard
