Not quite true, John Souvestre was one end and he has dropped out -
the other end stepped down as REC and importer.

That only affects the few remaining nodes in R26, R25 echos are
imported by 2:255/90 direct from Bob Seaborne. Noce short path from
you to me for echo mail (details condensed):

I'm not sure who's connecting to who on the R25/Z1 links apart from
the echo importing.
