I really hope his disappearance is the end of this story. The CentOS folks need to be double checking every bit this guy has touched and fully explore the other security ramifications. It is a bit concerning how much (PR) damage one person could do. I can't even grasp the level of crisis this would inflict on the Linux community (OSS in general) if the story turns worse. (sabotage, backdoors, etc)


not sure why you got modded down, this is a factor with the resignation of any key person in any major enterprise. Surely CentOS is no exception to the rule.
