10月2日上午7时，barry kauler在他的博客里正式宣布退休，puppy4.1正式版将成为barry主导开发的最后一个版本。
但barry表示他并不完全隐退，今后他将集中精力开发“UniPup”（一个puppy派生版本）。
接班的开发小组好象已基本敲定，但barry并未指明，细节方面将在协商后再行公布。

Amended retirement statement
Those who have tested 4.1rc may have noticed that the release notes have an amended "retirement" statement:
I have decided to bow out from my position as leader (also known as "Benevolent Dictator") of the Puppy Linux Project (held since I released v0.1 in mid-2003), and take a back seat. Version 4.1 is my final release as leader. A small group of trusted developers will take over, although the details are still to be worked out -- there are a couple of threads on the forum discussing this.
I won't be going away totally, and plan to focus on a "puplet" (derivative of Puppy) based on my "UniPup" concept and targeting specific hardware, probably one or more of the baby laptops. This will be a more part-time project than the hectic full-time pace that I have maintained over the last couple of years.
It is likely that I will keep working on some aspects of the "core" or "base" Puppy, primarily for my puplet but that will be useful for the mainstream Puppy.
Also, I will retain whatever copyright/trademark rights I currently have and continue with ownership of the puppylinux.com and puppylinux.org domain names. Plus, I will provide input to how and who takes over, hopefully without interfering too much. I see this as providing a kind of safeguard function -- I am mindful of other distros that have languished after the Benevolent Dictator left. Monitor my blog for updates on the transitional phase as I progressively retire.
I think this is a great opportunity, and Puppy will become better and better!
I have modified it in response to feedback sentiments and concerns expressed by many.
