According to Tom Willits, studio director at id:

"John Carmack, who has become interested in focusing on things other than game development at id, has resigned from the studio," Willits said. "John's work on id Tech 5 and the technology for the current development work at id is complete, and his departure will not affect any current projects. We are fortunate to have a brilliant group of programmers at id who worked with John and will carry on id's tradition of making great games with cutting-edge technology. As colleagues of John for many years, we wish him well."

You sort of buried the lead here. Carmack left iD to focus solely on his role at Oculus. According to his twitter, he still wanted to remain as an advisor, but it just didn't work out. Oculus must be doing some really amazing things to get Carmack to fully commit to walking out the door!
