I don't know who will fill the Void.
Bad joke aside, I have to agree with what's been said, it's very difficult for a 1or 2 person Linux distro to be a viable, sustainable project. Even if the person(s) has a unique idea, there are time and monetary constraints that conspire to inhibit the realization of the vision for the project.
SkyOS is a perfect example, it was a promising one man project, but it didn't go anywhere. There have been some exceptions, such as Knoppix, and of course, perhaps the most successful one man show, Mint, though I think there are probably a few more developers now, but for the most part, it's all based on the work done by large teams of people.
Even Linux, as an OS, is not the work of 1 man, namely Linus Torvalds. It made extensive use of the software created by the GNU Project.
And honestly, even the good one man projects wouldn't exist if it wasn't for RedHat, Suse, Mandrake and later Ubuntu.
