No. There are numerous articles across the web on this.

Well I'm not panicking but the loss of both Mr. Tevanian and Mr. Rubinstein is significant. I hope they have good replacements. Hate to see successful leaders leave -- brain-drain is never a good thing.

Hey, they survived the loss of Gil Amelio. They can survive anything!

Gil Amelio's CCD patent is better than either of those two's patents.

Fat lot of good that did Apple during his tenure.

News flash: Bertrand Serlet has been running the Mac OS X development effort since 2003. Apparantly he's doing a good enough job that no one noticed that Tevanian stepped aside back then to take that "Chief Propellerhead" executive position.
Did people panic when Fred Anderson left his position? His successor is pretty much following the same philosophy he did and it ended up being a non-event. So it is with Avie Tevanian handing over the reigns to Bertrand Serlet almost three years ago.
There are only two truly irreplacable execs at Apple, IMO: Steve Jobs and Jonathan Ive.

Might get some user interface upgrades with Tevanian gone. IIRC, he was one of the big champions of the NExt-ish interface. Along with Steve, of course.
