The CentOS project, the Linux distribution aimed at the enterprise built from Red Hat's freely available source code, has hit a significant bump in the road: the project's main administrator, Lance Davis, has gone missing-in-action. This is kind of a problem as Davis is the sole administrator fo the CentOS.org domain, the IRC channels - and the CentOS funds.

Or the company that built the car and millions of other could be worth billions of $ and still fold and be shuttered leaving you with a modern car with no dedicated support.
You would be forced to get support elsewhere, or if you're lucky the other companies would pick up the slack and provide maintainance to you for some reasonable amoutn of time.
You're right, that would never happen in a paid product! Heaven forbid a billion dollar corporation like car companies..I mean what's the likelihood of someone like General Motors going bankrupt and shuttering a whole division like Saturn, leaving owner in the lurch...nah would never happen...
