Not spending all my time looking at news items, I was unaware of this. Thank you for posting it here, because I for one wasn't aware of it before. It is a week or two out of date, it appears!

It looks like the company has clammed up apart from a belated advice of Mr. Carmony's successor.

However according to other Linux news blogs, it appears virtually simultaneously several other senior folk have left - maybe coincidentally - including (from what I've heard) the head of development.

Something I did notice was lack of posts by the staff member responsible for forum communication. It's not his fault, but as a company they have over many years had poor communication skills, though.

Apart from that I know nothing, and am not prepared to speculate.
