Morning Andrey, You have been and are one of the guiding lights of Debian Mentors and other areas of Debian. The time and effort you have devoted to the project should be acknowledged and celebrated. Your contribution in so many areas of Debian as a DD, you are always going to eventually be spreading yourself too thin. We all sometimes miss things, not follow up things and prove we are human. I appreciate your work and the help you have given me. Thanks. Regards Phil -- Donations...
