I think this is also just temporarily. It seems logical to me that they will build a new site on compiz-fusion.org

When Gnome and KDE get their own native compositing engines, who will want Compiz?
Perhaps someone who wants all of those effects. GNOME will probably not offer many plugins because of their focus on simplicity. Furthermore compiz already has a large community with a lot of plugins and users.
I've actually heard talk that they're thinking more about replacing Metacity with Compiz rather than putting this stuff into Metacity...
Main show stopper right now is that Compiz isn't a very complete window manager - no window snapping being the most obvious of the downfalls... when that is done, I'd expect Compiz to replace Metacity.
