After much contemplation and frustration, but most of all an overarching sense that Drupal 8 is no longer the system that I enjoy or love, I would like to remove my responsibilities of maintaining future versions of Drupal core. Drupal 8 is a system I can hardly understand or work with, let alone something I would contribute my time to maintain. I may still have a change of heart and find D8 something I can work with after it's been released, but my current perspective on it leaves me hopeless. In any case, Drupal would be better served by someone who understands the underlying systems maintaining them. There's hardly any of my original code left anyway at this point.
