There's another interesting article on there about the Astonishing X-Men series which may answer the question. Why are Emma and Logan in charge in lieu of former team leaders Scott and Ororo. It shows a picture of Scott and (mohawk) Storm making out. Wouldn't shock me at all to learn that these events are out of continuity, but if they aren't it would go to explaining why more experienced leaders aren't in charge.
