One common thread between a job, and contributing to free software, is that you are often collaborating with others and helping each other as a team.
There’s nothing inherently wrong from moving on from either one, but there is a vast spectrum of ways to make the transition - from productive and retaining friends, to bridge burning.
If there was some unforeseeable emergency in the PMs life he shouldn’t be criticized for that.
Let’s assume the positive, he’s probably a great guy, there’s a rational explanation, and he’ll end up making things right. The problem is sometimes other people might just be making dick moves, which really doesn’t help either party.
