For my stuff, I'd be fine to come on as SoC adjunct faculty or
whatever, assuming any students expresses interest on working on
anything in that area (there is certainly plenty to do).

I might well be eaten by a grue, particularly likely around April-May
(job related), and there really isn't anyone on my side of things who
could take over for me. Some of you mtn folk seem to know Botan
reasonably well, so if someone is willing to act as the hot
spare... hopefully it won't be needed but I can hardly guarantee.
