Hi Agostino, |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
this is very sad news but I'm not really surprised about your |
| 24 |
decision. It seems like every arch except amd64 and to some point |
| 25 |
arm(64) seems to be the target of massive vilification. |

On behalf of base-system team let me thank you for your awesome |
| 28 |
stabilization work. I hope you will return at some point when your |
| 29 |
frustration level has sufficiently decreased. |

Kind regards |
