Vadim,

 FarewellIt's time for formal acknowledgement that I'm not in The Project
 any more.

Bye!   Aside from one meeting in 2001, I know you only from your work.  But 
that's a very lasting impression ... even should you never come back to us, I 
think people will still be seeing your name in the code for many years to 
come.

Are you moving on to anything else in Open Source?

 It was this way for very long time and I don't see how/when that could
 change.
  
 My participation in The Project was one of the greatest adventures in my

 Thanks to everyone!
  
 Good luck on your ways.

Seriously though, good luck, Vadim, in all your future ventures. Your

- I cannot speak for others, but I certainly appreciate your efforts.

It's hard to imagine PostgreSQL with out MVCC, WAL, subselects, etc.

You know, maybe on the Developer's page there should be a PostgreSQL
