I see it as pheasible, there's a lot of commercial interest is online
role playing these days.  And George did hint something about a new guy
in his oasis 2.0.1 pre 2 posting:

Soon as I verify the modify.c patching is ok and nothing broke, I'll
release it and then turn things over to the new guy.

So unless anyone know's who the new guy is maybe it was a reference to
what they announced, it's possible that they didn't notice the date.
