Understood, Clint.  We voted to go ahead and have it removed then.

To be clear, our juju work also included the Python charm helpers and
the python-shell-toolbox package, and we hope that the buildbot decision
does not change your intent for those contributions.  We're waiting on
you to have time to package these, and I know Graham and you have been
in touch about this.

We use the python-shell-toolbox and intend to support it.

We hope that you still feel that the Python charm helpers we contributed
are valuable even without the buildbot charm.  The charm helpers depend
on the python-shell-toolbox.  If you need us to support the charm helper
contributions, I believe we'd be willing and able, one way or another.

Thanks,

Gary
