Thank you very much for everything you've put in over the years.  I know a
great deal of it was very thankless work, keeping the infrasturcture in
place behind the scenes, wading through Coverity scan reports to put
together a prodigous quantity of bugfixes, managing security incidents,
and more.  I always appreciated the work you've done, and since I haven't
had enough chances to thank you in person, let me say it again: thank you!

Now take a well-deserved break and spend some time with your family
(especially as it is growing)!
