Linux's Sole Wireless/WiFi Driver Maintainer Is Stepping Down

Okay, someone talk me down from the ledge here. I'm not techy, but I've been on Fedora for over a year, and dual booting since like 08. But the biggest hurdle back in the day for me was that my wifi was so hit or miss, even when it worked it was slow as shit. That and Netflix not working are what kept me from going full Ubuntu in like 09/10.
Am I going to have to go back to long ass Ethernet cords? Fuck, my laptop doesn't even have an Ethernet port :(
It's not like the driver is going to stop working.
Even if the OS gets updated?
If the ABI changes, it'll break. I was mainly addressing the "on a ledge" part of the comment, where they seemed to be talking much more short term.
I know not all hardware is created equal, but my two cents are now that Valve has planted themselves squarely In the mobile Linux world, they'll continue to pace the way on innovation and I wouldn't be surprised if larger organizations continue to drive improvement. There's no way they would just let that die. Linux gaming is going to have staying power.
That's what I think as well. Fingers crossed!
