                Really sad to see Winston go as he's been a long time
                member, but I think over<br>
                the last several releases it's been obvious he's had
                other priorities to<br>
                compete with. It would be great if that were to change
                some day. He's made a<br>
                lot of great contributions to Cinder over the years.<br>
                <br>
                I'm a little reluctant to make any changes with John
                though. We've spoken<br>
                briefly. He definitely is off to other things now, but
                with how deeply he has<br>
                been involved up until recently with things like the
                multiattach<br>
                implementation, replication, and other significant
                things, I would much rather<br>
                have him around but less active than completely gone.
                Having a few good reviews<br>
                is worth a lot.<br>

                I would propose we hold off on changing John's status
                for at least a cycle. He<br>
                has indicated to me he would be willing to devote a
                little time to still doing<br>
                reviews as his time allows, and I would hate to lose out
                on his expertise on<br>
                changes to some things. Maybe we can give it a little
                more time and see if his<br>
                other demands keep him too busy to participate and
                reevaluate later?<br>

    Thank you for your input on this and for following up with John.<br>
    <br>
    John,<br>
    <br>
    Glad that you are settling into your new position and think some
    time will free up for Cinder again.  I would be happy to have your
    continued input.<br>

    I am removing you from consideration for removal.<br>
