When joining Broadcom 13 years ago and assigned to work on
upstreaming our wifi drivers it was a fun job. Getting it
in shape to remedy John Linville's eye-ball cancer from the
first look at it and adding stuff after getting it out of
staging with Greg's blessing. Setting up a Jenkins CI rig to
nightly test the chips we support. Refactoring the driver to
pave the road for new features.

Those days it was backed up by the company because there were
paying customers demanding it. When that support ended I decided
to hang on and play my role as a maintainer because I cared and
could not let go. That was probably a mistake from which I can
only learn. Hopefully I can stay involved as a valued reviewer,
but I somehow doubt that. Too much emotions stir that I need to
vent, but it would only put more oil on this stupid flame war.

Regards,
Arend
