That's probably true of a large number of services people rely upon, but those services hide the fact by using the royal "we" and oblique references to the "team" in their announcements and press releases.

Maybe, but a well run team should have a "this is what you need to do if I get hit by a bus" document that is actually the "this is what you need to do when I get a better job" document.

True, but if that bus does one day get him then we'd probably hear about it pretty quick on the grapevine (he didn't squeal, just let out a little whine) and start making alternative arrangements en masse.
