Hi Lee -

Our company also uses Cap extensively and we really appreciate all your hard working building and maintaining it. I totally feel your pain reading responses about bugs, test coverage, etc. I urge you to consider whether you can get a couple of trusted allies or colleagues involved in putting Cap 3 out. I think it could be a huge boon to those of us who like the idea of modularized code and perhaps you can find a buffer or person who is willing to field some or all of the influx of bug reports (directly ask the community if so!)

Tom `seenmyfate` Clements has been helping to support me over the last three months when I've been very burned out, and has really taken my vision for v3 and made it reality where I wouldn't have been able to. He'll always be around taking care of Capistrano as his company grants him some 20% free time to work on it, I trust him implicitly, and he already has deploy and unregulated commit access.

Tom, if you are on HN, you're the only reason this project has been able to come as far as it has. Thank you.

It's been a pleasure, I'm really proud of what we've built so far. I hope that following a long and well deserved break you'll find yourself itching to return. No-one can deny you've gone above and beyond with a very demanding project, maybe with v2 retired and some additional support the overhead will come down to a much more manageable level.
