That requires the follow up too though. The person he got in touch with left/was let go shortly after, and the bridge was dead. Someone else got in touch again after he complained publicly I believe.
I'd be curious to see, however highly unlikely it is to eventuate, what would happen if a Yost-group like entity was to reform and run with Max. I somehow doubt they'd listen to the architectural/viz clients though, and that's most of the dough Max pulls in I believe, which means it'd be surprising if AD accepted. The disgruntled max users are mostly one-man-bands and TVC/episodical boutiques who're not coping too well with the obvious viz shift AFAIK.
