I'll still be here, but I'm trying to let you all figure something out for yourselves. I'm tired, and need a very long break.

Let me add my voice to the choir saying:

I'm sorry you had such a miserable experience.
I'm sad that you're retiring. I was hoping we'd get a few more years out of you.
I wish you the very best in your retirement as BDFL.
I hope you have a pleasant experience as a core dev and stick around for a good long while!
