10+ years is a long time to steward a project. Most projects don't even live that long!

Transitioning away after 10+ years is a sign of several positive things:

* Creating a successful project that lasts 10+ years

* Having the perseverance, patience, and willpower to guide that project for its lifetime

* Creating a healthy community whom you are able to transition day-to-day responsibility of that project to

Matt has accomplished something that most of us never will. I'm envious of what he has accomplished and that he is able to walk away from a healthy and successful project. Truly a remarkable accomplishment.
