I'm sorry to hear that you're leaving, but you're the one who knows what you 
want and what's best for you. I wish you success in your future FOSS 
projects, and I hope that your contributions to them will be as valuable as 
you've been to Source Mage.

You say that you've grown to understand other distributions better than 
before. I have no doubt that you have, and I'm hoping you could tell us about 
some of your insights. How and in which areas do you see Source Mage 
reinventing the wheel? What are the biggest problems as you perceive them?

Oh, and if you still have that python proof-of-concept concept code for 
CastFS 
I'd love to see it. :) (Or were you still just planning it when we last 
talked?)
