Thanks Gus!!!

So heads up everyone: I've just came back today from vacation so I haven't had
time to revisit the post.

But one consensus before I left was to NOT talk about the LTS part until we
actually have a policy in place.

So I plan to make the edit this week to remove that and just talk about the
removal. I'll then ask for a re-review on this list.

It is unclear at this point in time when the actual relay rejection will
happen but regardless we should publish the blog post asap so to give as much
time as possible to the public out there to upgrade their relays.

Cheers!
David
