I didn't realize this wouldn't be clear, but the second email does
override the first.  I won't be trying to reproduce and fix this
particular bug (more likely, set of bugs).

I'm stepping back from tracking bugs in this patch set for a couple of
reasons.  First, I've used all the time allocated for this project for
me by Red Hat.  I am now working on other projects, union mounts at
present, and btrfs utilities next.  Second, you're now the most active
developer on this feature, and the overhead of trying to synchronize
between two developers is far more than the benefit I can contribute.
I feel the project is in good hands now.

I will of course be happy to assist other people working on bugs in
the 64 bit patches, I just won't be taking the lead in tracking and
fixing them.  I'm also happy to answer questions, do code review, help
with spatch scripts, etc. - again, just not taking the lead since I'm
not the lead developer.
