I do see this as a "taking the foot off the gas". During the past year Ken has done the majority of the feature and support work as I had my second son during that span and quite literally had very little free time. I'm thankful for him to have given me that chance and this will be the same for him. I hope that he can actually find the ability to disconnect...without me completely pulling his forum access 
So we're effectively just slowing down. I'll still be here on a daily basis in a little more capacity than I have been. Ken will be taking a hiatus and will likely still be active on sgp just not on the support side for the time being.
To be clear MSS and SGP are not going anywhere. We're just going to develop at a more realistic pace for a company that has to currently exist in our free time.
Thanks
