I agree. I'd like to thank you for your work over the past few cycles,
and wish you every success in the future.

As those of you who are subscribed will have seen, I kind of hijacked a
blueprint for these topics

  https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-r-future-release-brainstorming
