And, let's say the rest of it - it doesn't take much inteligence to work out what that means for me personally.

For the record, let me state out loud what I think. I truly think that the core ARM code is a nice piece of art, and this is because of your technical excellence and good taste with code. The ARM ecosystem is wide and varied, and keeping it from morphing into a horrid mess is a thankless challenge. We as a community certainly don't say this very often if at all, but we certainly owe you a big "thank you" for the excellent work you did so far, and I hope you'll go on with it for quite some time yet. In any case, no one with excellent coding skills such as yours is ever going to lack work and opportunities in this community. Even x86, despite its long history in the Linux kernel, is less fragmented and diversified than the ARM architecture. For better or worse, the ARM Ltd business model is different from Intel's. That might be good for the ARM market share and vendor differentiation, but this is far from the ideal scenario for kernel developers. I said it in the past and I'll say it again: X86 is peanuts in comparison. Yet, X86 has 3 listed maintainers according to the MAINTAINERS file. ARM has only one. AS far as I can see, no one is crazy enough to be maintainer for two or more architectures. Unless you were to give up on the ARM 32 bit maintenance, I don't see how you could be able to maintain both ARM and ARM64 at the same time without losing your sanity or sacrificing on the quality of the code you contribute. . Fortunately, Catalin is willing to maintain the ARM64 port and he appears pretty motivated as well. Unless he does screw up, we should let him bear this weight. Nicolas
