A Personal Update on Project Maintenance

Lately, I have been thinking a lot about how to divide my time between all my projects.

I have several commercial projects, some related to my work and some personal commercial projects of my own, and all of them are demanding more and more attention. I am starting to realize that I may have to make a difficult choice and step away from some of my open-source projects. Honestly, I really do not want to. These projects mean a lot to me, and I have put a huge amount of time, effort, and heart into them.

Right now, I am considering my options. Most likely, I will not stop everything at once. Instead, I will choose a couple of projects to keep maintaining. For example, I may release patches once a month, keep dependencies up to date, and fix critical bugs. I simply will not have the capacity to do much more than that.

This is not the end of support. It is more like moving into maintenance mode. The projects will remain functional and up to date, but there will probably be fewer new features.

Thank you to everyone who uses my projects and sends pull requests. That really motivates me to keep going.
