I think you mistook that for my slackjaw droolings when you repeatedly ignored
my warnings to run as far from it as possible.  But you're persistent, I'll
give you that.  Looks like that persistence will be punis^H^H^H^H^Hrewarded
with your first RMship!  Congratulations (?).

Undoubtedly it will make you a vegan, but hopefully not a Go programmer!

Seriously though, I think it's great for you to work with Georg through the
3.3 process, so you can take over for 3.4.  And I also think it's great that
someone new wants to do it.  I kid, but the mechanics of releasing really
isn't very difficult these days as we've continually automated the boring
parts.  The fun part is really making the decisions about what is a
showstopper, what changes can go in at the last minute, etc.  Like the
president of the USA, I just hope your hair is already gray!
