I am too busy to work on core Sage development right now.   If what
I'm doing right now pays off, there will be far more resources for
Sage development in the long run than anything I could ever personally
do.  I have also already done a lot -- according to this, I've done
some work on Sage:

Nope, not on that. My time is better spent elsewhere.

For now, yes.

I don't know how to say this, but I'm older than you have and have a
much bigger picture longterm strategic view of things.   There is much
more to helping the Sage project than diving into the trenches and
writing code (though that is very valuable too). For example, Nicholas
Thierry's work on getting the DREAMKIT funding and managing that is an
extremely valuable contribution.

That said, it's not like I don't write code -- I've evidently made
over 3000 commits to open source code in the last year:

I think I've done more programing in the last two years than at any
point in my life before.  And it has been at times much more difficult
than any work I did on Sage.

I'm sorry if you feel like I'm "flame baiting" you with the above
off-topic message.

Back to work.
