<p>Many of you that know me well know my feelings towards participating as a core reviewer in a project. Folks with the ability to +2/+W gerrit changes can sometimes unintentionally harm a codebase if they are not consistently reviewing and maintaining codebase
context. I also believe in leading an exception-free life, and I'm no exception to my own rules. As I am not reviewing Kolla actively given my OpenStack individually elected board of directors service and other responsibilities, I am dropping core reviewer
ability for the Kolla repositories.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I want to take a moment to thank the thousands of people that have contributed and shaped Kolla into the modern deployment system for OpenStack that it is today. I personally find Kolla to be my finest body of work as a leader. Kolla would not have been
possible without the involvement of the OpenStack global community working together to resolve the operational pain points of OpenStack. Thank you for your contributions.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Finally, quoting Thierry [1] from our initial application to OpenStack, " ... Long live Kolla!"<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Cheers!<br>
