AC/UA Leaving Star Alliance?

I've been listening some rumours both from sources in the US and in Europe that United and Air Canada are seriously thinking about leave Star Alliance, in part due the way the alliance is being managed by Lufthansa.

Anyone heard similar rumours around?

DC10Forever,

Please note that the difference between the regular -800 and the new SFP variant is limited to minor changes to flaps, slats and spoiler operating logic and the thrust increase from 24K to 27K lbs in each engine.

I do not see how this changes can be related to the crash
