Tim is one of the people in the Kubernetes community that makes it an enjoyable place to work.
Building an open source community is hard and building an open source community for a platform that has a ton of orthogonal interests is even harder. But, Tim, along with many of the other leaders, do a solid job of ensuring that the project does its best to listen to all of the various users and stakeholders and then ultimately takes an opinion and heads in a direction that tries to navigate immediate needs without egregious long-term compromise. It is hard work and no one can expect a 100% success rate, but Tim has done a great job and has been pretty close.
In any case, thanks for your dedication to the project Tim.
