We are indeed grateful for your commitment and valuable contributions over the years. For this reason, we believe that it is a real loss for the entire community that the situation has come to this point. We hoped a different solution could be possible, but we respect though your decision. If we may add a consideration that we believe is valid for anyone who wishes to contribute effectively to the best possible development of the Linux community, we believe that contributing to and, even more so, managing this process through maintenance requires, in pursuit of the highest collective interest, the ability to mediate and welcome differences in contributions and points of view as an element of undoubted richness. This sometimes requires a significant but essential effort to relate to others in a collaborative and respectful manner. No one is perfect: each of us has a record of mistakes, some of them significant, but by supporting each other in a truly collaborative spirit, we can ensure the best results together. Because this is the process we believe in. - netdev maintainers.
