Actually, that's a bad example. :)

More people have joined the project in the last 6 months, and without
anyone dropping off in any truly noticeable way, than ever before.
People have _always_ gone missing for extended periods ever since the
project began and I don't see that this has increased appreciably.

We also completed a fairly MAJOR set of milestones with ELF and the
Alpha port (for which you deserve a good share of the credit) along
with several other things which had been stalled for literally years
or more.  We've made a lot of progress in the last 6 months - more
than I'm typically used to.  Any more rapid progress than this and
most of us will no longer be able to keep up. :)
