Hi all.

I'm delighted to announce that I've accepted a call to serve a congregation in Victoria, Australia, as a Home Missionary elder. As a result, some time in the next month or two, I will stop working for Cyclades and make the move.

Users of Suspend2 can rest assured that I will not allow the patches to suffer bitrot. I will be continuing to use them myself, and will therefore have the best of incentives to keep them up-to-date.

I think you for all your work, and I hope that your new calling will be satisfying!

Now for the downside: I won't, however, be making any sort of concerted effort at getting them merged into the vanilla kernel after my move, and am not inclined to make a big effort beforehand. Recent discussions on LKML clearly showed that Pavel doesn't want to see them merged, and I didn't see much in the way of other kernel developers expressing a desire contrary to Pavel's wishes. I don't want to waste my time and effort, so I don't see the point to doing anything but maintaining the patches as they stand.

I have never had any problems with Suspend1 in terms of SUSPEND, although I was hoping at some time that RESUME functionality would be added as well ;-) Suspend2 has worked for my laptops, and I'm delighted that you will be continuing your work.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Cyclades for their employment and support of the project.
