Yes.  He knows his stuff and puts in quite a bit of time.  Theoretical 
problems with relying on one person or not, that just can't be easily or 
well substituted, in practice, however much it might be a good idea not 
to rely solely on one person.  Like it or not, he is a central enough cog 
in the machine that when he stops working, even with other cogs in place 
to try to do the same duty, the entire machine gets glitchy.

So thanks, Jakob.  We miss you! =8^)
