MechWarrior Lives?

I was browsing my morning blogroll and came across this story at Kotaku that indicated Jordan Weisman, founder(?) of the recently disbanded FASA, has secured the rights to MechWarrior, Crimson Skies and Shadowrun from Microsoft, for his new startup, Smith & Anvil. Sure, it'll be years before we see the fruits of anything that might come of this, but if they come up with a game that carries forward the spirit of MechWarrior 2, I'll be happy to wait.
