+Niko Matsakis is [stepping back][niko-blog] from the [Core Team][team-core],
+focusing his energy on leading the [Language Team][team-lang]. Amongst the many
+things he has done for the Rust project over the years, Niko has been part of
+the Core Team since the beginning, and had a key role in shaping Rust’s
+governance. We’re all excited to see what his new focus is going to bring!
+
+Thanks Niko!
