A cynical and snarky observation but one that inadvertently furthers my point.
What happens to the corporation if a leader dies in a SUV wreck on safari or gets arrested for statutory rape?
In most corporations, this flawed individual would be immediately replaced with minimal operational impact. Succession is a pre-planned aspect of the organizational structure.
Now, what happens to an Open Source project if this individual is the "benevolent dictator"? It is not a question of "if" but rather "when" this person's participation will end.
