I hope with you, but I doubt. There was nothing keeping new leaders from emerging before. Stallman never struck me as particularly jealous, just particular. We might just be witnessing the retirement of the only person with the single-mindedness and influence to keep the thing going.

This is also something I fear might happen. Let us hope for the best. Someone with a clear way of making logical arguments, with firm idea about free software, furthering the original goals.

Yes, FSF basically forked into its own not so free software movement, especially after some FSF people publicly joined the attack on Stallman. Old movement is dead, split, new movements are not going to be the same.
