In free software project, some users push to far the idea that software belongs to them, their creator included. Just to be clear, if the guy is dead, well he does not care anymore. If he is alive he has most likely opted out of the web since web access is almost not a blocking factor. Hence, it is a choice or it is death, and in both case if a project cannot survive any of this outcome it is dead itself. That is what I fear will happen to a lot of free software/open source projects in the future since very few core commiters tends to produce the majority of commits for long times.
