Thanks Steffen for your kind words. It has always been a pleasure working on 
BOINC and with the people who shared this pleasure with me. I learned a lot by 
maintaining BOINC and hope that my successor(s?) will have a similar 
experience.

Ok, then I file a RFA soon. I'll of course stay on this list to help the new 
maintainer on questions regarding the pkg-boinc infrastructure and technical

Happy new year!
