Guitar Hero goes to . . Neversoft?

Today, from the "didn't see that one coming" department, we have word from GameDaily that it looks like the development torch of the Guitar Hero franchise has been passed from Harmonix to Neversoft, developers of the Tony Hawk series of games.
There's no official announcement, no in-depth explanations, just the fact that Neversoft's website is split down the middle, advertising Tony Hawk related job opportunities on one side and Guitar Hero related opportunities on the other. One would feel it would be safe to assume that if an Activision-owned developer is hiring people to work on a Guitar Hero game, that this would mean that they'll be making some Guitar Hero games.
There are still a lot of questions to be answered. Are they just making the expansions we've been told about, are they making Guitar Hero III? What platforms are we talking about here? Is Harmonix going to finish the port to the 360, or is that being handed over too? And what about Harmonix? Are they just going to ride off into the sunset now?
Soon as this gets confirmed or expanded upon or whatever, we'll be sure to let you know.
