(something I intended to write in debian-provate, but it probably
belongs here more than there)

I'm really sad to see you leaving Debian, Nicolas. I suspected this to
happen for quite some time, but always hoped it would not happen.

I'm not sure that many people  here around are able to imagin what
Nicolas has achieved for Debian i18n/l10n in about 10 years.

Many things we have currently working (even though sometimes they have
hiccups) are the result of Nicolas' work (full or partial) and we rely
on his code in many places, in the i18n infrastructure.

I hope you'll find a way to still stay partly involved, Nicolas, maybe
by keeping your subscription to debian-i18n....just in case we need to
call out for help..:-)...or just to see what's happening in Debian
i18n world.

And we'll not forget that Nicolas is one of the three inventors for
Debian Wine and Cheese parties (along with Denis Barbier and yours
truly) and was among participants of The Very First One back in
Debconf 5, Helsinki, French room. He'll keep forever the very rare
title of Cheese Master.

Keep up the good work, Nicolas, and I wish you the best with your
future projects.
