Richie Kotzen Replaces John Sykes?

Has Richie Kotzen replaced John Sykes in the new project also featuring Mike Portnoy and Billy Sheehan?

Following the announcement yesterday that Sykes was no longer involved, stories have spread that Kotzen has now been brought in. And the guitarist himself has posted the following comment on hisFacebook page:

I wanted to address the recent rumor about the project with Billy, Mike, and I Although we did throw some ideas around, neither of us decided to make any public announcements, so todays Internet buzz was a surprise. I will say I am a fan of both Mike and Billy. Im sure a collaboration would produce some interesting results.

All of which meanswhat? Is he in or out? What do you reckon?
