Yeah, what Thomas said above.

That said, I've been on the fence for the 2018 edition.  As Thomas said,
we've been thinking about it for some months, and I've jotted down some
ideas and images; just haven't gotten around to make images and other
related tasks.  I've been trying to make time, but was consumed with
several things work and non-work related, that it was hard so far.  :-(

Still, there is time, and I don't want to "give up" -- it'll be nice to
do a 15-year edition.  Maybe I'll get renewed energy after discussions
at the KVM Forum in Edinburgh later this year (in October) and make
time.  And it's also nice to see renewed interest here!
