Thanks for sending this along, Adam. Our community owes Shawn (and
his family for that matter) a great debt of gratitude, and not just
for the software he's written. Many are the times when spearce
helped me out personally over IRC with Gerrit-related issues, even
though I'm certain he could have been spending his time on more
interesting endeavors instead. He will be missed.
