Što se tiče razloga za otkaz: IBM je odlučio da delocira svoja IT odeljenja u Poljsku i Indiju gde je cena radne snage manja (11.09.2016):

I am being laid off by my employer, IBM. Jobs in the Netherlands move to lower-wage countries like Poland and India, while IBM changes course towards a "cognitive" future in which there is less interest in the traditionally skilled technical IT jobs.

I have not left; I am not leaving; I just need more time to work on refreshing my non-Slackware technical skills for a new job. Which obviously means that less time will be available for Slackware related work (packaging mostly). Plus, if my new job limits my online time during work hours, I will be forced to spend less time here on LQ answering questions.
I am not "transfering" the building of certain packages to other people. Feel free to use my scripts to create and share newer packages for VLC, LibreOffice, Chromium etc... but they will then not be my packages.
I will still do all of these packages, but I may not be "hot on the heels" of the developers when they release new tarballs.
And bug hunting will suffer most. You can not imagine how much time goes into SlackBuild updates sometimes... when compilation fails from one version to the next without any obvious reason. For instance, Chromium 53 for which I have packages for Slackware 14.2 and -current, refuses to compile on Slackware 14.1. For reasons unknown. I have spent only limited time on debugging the build yesterday and the night before. Which means I am now 3 days into trying to create that package. Something which would not have happened if I would have spent all my free time on it.
That's how it is currently - and I foresee that this situation will not change at least until after November 1st and maybe it will last longer.

A 3rd interview was not needed... I have the job if I want it. Next week, we will discuss the monetary and other terms. Win! My stress levels have decreased so much that I will have a look at the new Chromium and KDE releases this weekend.
