This should be clearly spelled out if it's the intention. I'd also like to see how the community plans to cope with such a major loss of experience and know-how. A related example is the Apache River podling that nearly died when the then Sun employees were pulled out of the project, which left next to nobody to look after the codebase. Only with major efforts by mentors and new contributors was the project salvaged, but even now it's only a shadow of what Jini used to be. I'd hate to see the same happen to OpenOffice.
