Do you think that CentOS will survive without his boss? |

From http://www.centos.org/:
Facts Regarding CentOS and the Open Letter
CentOS is not dead or going away. The signers of the Open Letter are fully committed to continue the CentOS Project. Updates and new releases will continue.
Most of the Issues have been resolved, there is an action plan with agreed upon dates for any outstanding issues.
The CentOS Project now owns the CentOS.org and CentOS.info domains and there will be no disruption in services.
And from yesterday on /.: http://linux.slashdot.org/story/09/08/01/1443221/CentOS-Administrator-Reappears
Gotta love alarmists. |

yes is back but I don't see anything good to give a person all the power to manage a project like this. |

He doesn't, any more. Infact he never really did; he was just the contact point for various things (DNS, Paypal, Adwords etc). The project itself ran without him. But that's what the open letter was all about. The project is working out a governance structure that will try to avoid key-man dependencies. |
