<p class="MsoNormal">Hi neutrinos, <u></u><u></u></p>
<div>

<p class="MsoNormal">To some of you this email may not come as a surprise.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">During the past few months my upstream community engagements have been more and more sporadic. While I tried hard to stay committed and fulfill my core responsibilities I feel like I failed to retain the level of quality and consistency
that I would have liked ever since I stepped down from being the Neutron PTL back at the end of Ocata.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I stated many times when talking to other core developers that being core is a duty rather than a privilege, and I personally feel like it's way overdue for me to recognize on the mailing list that it's the time that I state officially
my intention to step down due to other commitments.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">This does not mean that I will disappear tomorrow. I'll continue to be on neutron IRC channels, support the neutron team, being the release liasion for Queens, participate at meetings, and be open to providing feedback to anyone who thinks
my opinion is still valuable, especially when dealing with the neutron quirks for which I might be (git) blamed :)<u></u><u></u></p>
