Let's wait for the circumstances before passing judgement.
Name some circumstances which justify pulling down a broadly-used open source project like Hpricot. At a certain point it must be admitted that a project has a life beyond its author.

--depth does have some benefits... one of my friends tried to do a 'git svn clone' of his work's svn repo... he gave up after the process had been running for a full 3 or 4 weeks. That said --depth doesn't have too much use when it comes to native git repos though. Unless you have a ton of binary files in the repo and don't want the full history of all of them...
None of _why's projects were that big, so in this case it's kind of a moot point.
Wow, one of the few personalities to ever remain truly anonymous on the Internet vanishes in a day. Sad sad day. :(
What about moot and weev? They're not members of the open source community, but they are notorious.

Specifically, does anyone have a copy of his Potion (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=425258) repository somewhere online?
I just noticed that _why apparently deleted his twitter account. I then found that that wasn't all he deleted: http://twitter.com/_why http://github.com/why http://whytheluckystiff.net/ http://poignantguide.net/ http://hackety.org/ http://shoooes.net/ All disappeared...

Judging by this, it looks like his account was hacked: http://twitpic.com/ehm2h .
_why was to the ruby community what willy wonka was to chocolate. Maybe, just as the fictional Willy Wonka secluded himself in his chocolate factory for so many years due to competition, _why is simply secluding himself in his programming factory. Deliciously sweet chocolates (or libraries/books/hacketyhack/etc.) will hopefully magically still appear. Maybe _why is simply going to oompa loompa land to get little help…
Where is Charlie?

moot's identity was revealed. weev I've not seen any proof yet that he's been outed. I'll correct my post.
