If you have seen the Test squad and thought that ritual suicide was the proper answer to the omission of Michael Vaughan, you can put away your disembowelling weapons.
The announcement may spell doom for Ian Bell, we may have seen the last of Steve Harmison and Owais Shah may spend the rest of his playing days with Middlesex.
But there is no chance that The Brain will have to move out of his Derbyshire mansion, rent a slum in east Sheffield or vanish from the Broad Acres altogether.
I can reveal that he has had dinner recently with a Sky TV executive so that if he has played his last Test for England there will be a place on the gantry for him far into the future.
The wish to have him aboard the good ship England runs right through the dressing room and unless Ravi Bopara turns out to be the new Bradman - and how many do? - Vaughan will be back just as soon as he has put together enough runs.
Plenty of time - there are still 117 days to the end of the Ashes
