Makes me wonder if they instead are deciding to slowly kill the product line, and instead of just stopping development entirely, they’re giving it out as if it’s some huge gift to try and “buy” good will before it becomes an inferior product?
Either way, support costs for the product are now $0 (because you can’t buy it) and development costs are about to be near-zero if they’re forking upstream kvm.
