I'm not a mips user, but FWIW from this (amd64) user's perspective, 
thanks, both for the mail, which I thought was very well put, and for 
stickin' around.

Some of us users found a home with Gentoo, and despite all the "life and 
times of gentoo-dev" soap opera stuff that seems to go on some of the 
time, hope it's around for a long while...  I imagine myself doing my 
final sync, fifty years from now or whatever (I'd be ninety), and they 
come to check on me the next morning, to find death finally synced with 
me.  For that to happen, there'll still need to be some Gentoo devs 
around creating those packages, so yeah, I'm grateful for all you guys 
and all your contributions, even when it's "not so fun anymore", and wish 
you a very long and productive Gentoo devhood! =8^)
