I'm glad I decided to wait, cool off and see what transpired before
posting another inflammatory message.

I will continue to maintain libc on an interim basis.  I would like to
clarify a couple of points though.

First, I did not mean to imply that I was not happy maintainlng libc.
I certainly wouldn't have spent time fixing bugs and trying to improve
it if I wasn't.  I would prefer, however, to eventually hand off libc,
binutils, gcc, etc. when someone who is capable of handling them comes
along.

Second, I do intend to update the kernel headers periodically or as
needed.  My intent is not freeze functionality at some arbitrary point
in time.  Rather, it is to restrict the risk of breaking compilation
of most programs to well defined points when libc is updated.  I will
continue to lobby H.J. Lu to do the same with his upstream packages.
