That announcement post now has its own thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13581375. Normally, of course, we wouldn't have two threads so closely related on the front page, but the topics do seem distinct in this case and they're both pretty major.

Thanks for doing that! I think that these topics are indeed distinct, and it's important that once people see the news, they see the leadership's plan for RethinkDB. I've been really impressed with RethinkDB's leadership through this arduous (and often uncertain) process, and really looking forward to seeing where they and the community take the project!
