i think the ppl around with the necessary experience wouldnt wreck the

cool guys around! :) ), but becoming abandonware would be the worst

like so, then he could still say something like "sorry i didnt have
the time to follow up whats up around, but [...] is the actual case on
my side and u can expect [...]", but the actual case seems to me like
he became somewhat uninterested in further development or overwhelmed
or whatever, but as he still have the lj leader hat, this would be the
least expectable imho. otherwise i hope he is fine, and i think he
wont disappear forever, so id suggest u guys to do ur best but expect
that one day he will appear around, as he invested really much of his
efforts that builds personal interests in general... on the contrary,
maybe he is just spending his holiday times while lj doesnt need to
run anywhere as its already kinda mature, so he actually didnt
disappear in the middle of putting off a huge fire. furthermore this
can even be a plan to force us to "grow up" :D but anyhow, these are
still just my thoughts!
ive seen previously a similar case around vesta cp, Serghey, its lead
dev disappeared for like a long summer (last year, if im right), but
there are always more-or-less serious issues around that project while
its installer uses (or used? dunno) their website instead of their
git, and that required to make a fork for putting off some fire
around. so that was a serious stuff, its fork, hestia cp have born in
those times and now its two distinct projects with mostly divided
developer groups, thats not really beneficial, and would be even worse
here as the there is only a small bunch of ppl around with sufficient
knowledge, and this community would suffer much from breaking apart,
and there are already different aims and visions, so it can still
happen easily.
i think throwing the different visions into the common would be
beneficial to take the right direction, even if everyone does the
stuff that matches with their interest.
