TF2 A Year Away?

Well, the Adrenaline Vault is reporting that Valve has contracted Billy Zelsnack (the guy who was doing the engine for the now defunct Prax War @ Rebel Boat Rocker) to work on the engine for Team Fortress 2. This is cool and all, but here is what worries me:
Now the Adrenaline Vault has confirmed with Sierra and Valve that Zelsnack has been contracted to assist the Team Fortress 2: Brotherhood of Arms development team, and is doing engine enhancements for the next-generation Half-Life technology being used for the title. Since the online-oriented 3D action game is at least a year off, as a Sierra public relations representative mentioned Tuesday when contacted about Zelsnack’s responsibilities on the project, both companies turned down our request for an interview. But having him elbow-deep in the code could mean very good things for the product.
