CentOS - Jul 2009 - Any more details on Lance? (just curious; no pressure)

A friend of mine sent me this link:

http://linux.slashdot.org/story/09/07/30/130249/CentOS-Project-Administrator-Goes-AWOL

I went to the main page and read the letter and the "Facts."  Are
there any more details, mainly along the lines of CentOS sticking
around - I know you folks all work really hard on this, and you know
better than me how many others depend on you - but - there's that
little specter of doubt yelling in my virtual ears (has to yell 'cuz
it's really tiny) and I'd like nothing better (well, almost) than to
gag it.

Thanks for all you do, and for keeping us all informed.

I just updated the Facts box on the front page of www.centos.org

Hopefully this addresses some of the community concerns.

At this point in time, Lance has not attempted to contact any of the 
Open Letter signers.

Thanks,

There is no reason to worry that the CentOS project will be going
anywhere.  The people that do all the heavy lifting have bee, and will
continue to be involved.  This is more of an administrative flap than
anything... it doesn't sound like Lance has been a part of the CentOS
daily operations in a very long while either.

CentOS will be just fine..
