He's talking about it on Facebook:

I love the X-Men. And it's a voluntary separation, not a divorce... :)

It’s not the end of me on the X-Men - at least, I hope it isn’t. It’s me taking a break from the monthly book, and taking stock of where I am on a bunch of other things.

So, some positive.

Honestly, I'm disappointed that it was Matt Fraction who seemed to be the golden boy on the X-men post-Messiah Complex as Carey was the one X-writer who I really rated, and still do. Disappointed again that he's stepping back. Legacy was my only remaining core X-title.

I guess he's focusing more on the Unwritten for now.

Hopefully he comes back on another project at some point.

Well he also occasionally does novels as well, so it might be that too (Along with Unwritten).

Hmm. Carey in his X-Men sandbox book, or more Felix Castor novels...

I'm so very conflicted right now!

Here's hoping he comes back soonish in a position to give more direction to the franchise as a whole.
