I am assuming that Mark will stay on. He's on an extended vacation right
now, IIRC, so we won't hear from him for a while. However, I understand
he's subscribed to the mailing lists with his new e-mail address.

Also, we've recently seen a slight in crease in interest for Bloodhound
from outside this team, and we're actively working on promoting the project.

Given all the above, and taking into account the fact that everything
else regarding this project is proceeding smoothly, I've decided that
circumstances have changed enough to warrant graduation. It's not as
cut-and-dried as I'd like it, but on the other hand, I trust BH will
expand its user base soon.
