True enough, but my point is that there is a bigger problem: He ran an org in which nobody tackled him in the hallway and said "WTF This is a piece of crap! We can't release such a POS, and if you do I quit!"
An organization is not fixed by chopping only one head, there are no doubt lieutenants that need to be axed.
