Stallman stepped down from leadership of the GNU project (announcement removed)

A few hours ago without explanation Richard Stallman объявил on his personal website about his immediate resignation as head of the GNU project. It is noteworthy that just two days ago he saidthat the leadership of the GNU project remains with him and he is not going to leave this post.

It is possible that the message in question is vandalism posted by an outsider as a result of a hack on stallman.org. For example, it is strange that the announcement was not made on the GNU mailing list, but on a personal site with marginal notes. Link to leave message for some visitors also shown retrospective of 27 September. Some users also mention the appearance of strange notes on the site leading to an article attacking Stallman and a video discrediting him.

Addendum: It is most likely that the message was posted after stallman.org was hacked by attackers whose traces of activity traced in yesterday's copy of the main page at the Internet Archive. The "donate to the Free Software Foundation" link leads to a provocative video, and the link to "Richard Stallman" in the title goes to Article with the accusations of Stallman, because of which he was forced leave President of the SPO Foundation. However, information about the departure has not yet been confirmed or denied by Stallman himself, who may be on a trip (the day before the announcement of the removal from the GNU leadership, his website also posted the note about finding a room in Boston).

Addendum 2 (9:15 MSK): Announcement of resignation as head of the GNU Project has been removed from stallman.org. There is still no confirmation or denial from Stallman yet.
