Oh man.
I totally understand you needing a break, and I hope you have a restful time
away from the noise and fury of the mailing list :)
Though we didn’t do much together on-list, I always enjoyed your
contributions, and really enjoyed working with you while we were both at
Oracle.
I'm sad to see you go, but I want what’s best for you.

I hope it'll be kept for you to come back to if you feel like it :)

whatever comes next!

it was a pleasure to work with you and thanks a lot for all recent
libfuse reviews, all merged now and next libfuse release coming.
Also thanks a lot for all your xfs and other Linux work!
Good luck for your future endeavours and I hope we stay in contact!
Best,
Bernd

You'll be missed. I hope the break is refreshing and restorative!
