Kyle, you've really done a fantastic job during your time. The community is
now much more welcoming, and I think that working on Neutron is now much
easier. We've grown to be a very positive and constructive community and
that's not always been the case. I distinctly remember many conversations
with a wide range of people about this exact topic over the last year and a
half, all praising the changes you've been leading. Kudos.

I'm writing to let everyone know that I do not plan to run for Neutron PTL
for a fourth cycle. Being a PTL is a rewarding but difficult job, as Morgan
recently put it in his non-candidacy email [1]. But it goes further than
that for me. As Flavio put it in his post about "Being a PTL" [2], it's a
full time job. In the case of Neutron, it's more than a full time job, it's
literally an always on job.

I've tried really hard over my three cycles as PTL to build a stronger web
of trust so the project can grow, and I feel that's been accomplished. We
have a strong bench of future PTLs and leaders ready to go, I'm excited to
watch them lead and help them in anyway I can.

As was said by Zane in a recent email [3], while Heat may have pioneered
the concept of rotating PTL duties with each cycle, I'd like to highly
encourage Neutron and other projects to do the same. Having a deep bench of
leaders supporting each other is important for the future of all projects.

See you all in Tokyo!
Kyle
