The death of CyanogenMod will affect Replicant?

Hi everybody out there. I was reading in the XDA website some news, and I found this:
https://www.xda-developers.com/the-death-of-cyangenmod-and-whats-in-store-for-the-future/

Cyanogen Inc. has finally delivered a bullet to the brain – of CyanogenMod. After years of tumultuous turnovers in the company, Cyanogen recently announced that the company would consolidate all of their efforts into a new Cyanogen Modular OS program.

As a part of their consolidation, the company announced that many of their employees, including Cyanogen (Steve Kondik) himself, would part ways with the company. Finally, today the company announced that all Cyanogen services and Cyanogen-supported nightly builds will be discontinued after December 31st, 2016.

But it says that it will be rebranded as LineageOS http://lineageos.org/Yes-this-is-us/
Anyway, how will this affect the Replicant project? Will it improve, get worse, or continue the same?
