>this announcement should be extremely worrying.

I agree it's slightly worrying, there's currently no replacement for RMS. The libre software movement risks falling apart if he is no longer there. FSF and RMS should make quick work of finding someone valuable.

One person is not a movement. It's not enough to find someone else. The organization, the entire group of people it consists of, needs to be able to its job.

I'm not even sure what this libre software movement even is that would fall apart in the absence of RMS and the FSF.

Yes.. please God someone tell me, which parts of the sky would fall if the entire FSF org disappeared tomorrow?
