He'd told them: "The upcoming merge window for 6.17 is going to be slightly chaotic for me. I have multiple family events this August (a wedding and a big birthday), and with said family being spread not only across the US, but in Finland too, I'm spending about half the month traveling."

I love Cloudflare. I’ve always been a fan of their service and their generous free plan, which they’ve never backtracked from. They still offer unlimited bandwidth with very few limitations. Users have stories about serving terabytes of data per day without Cloudflare knocking on their door to upgrade. We, too, use Cloudflare under the hood, which enables us to offer unlimited bandwidth for our users as well. This might make people wonder: Why pay for a CDN when Cloudflare is free? When I star
