Another source named June as the burial date back in January or February of
this year. It might have even been on this list, IIRC.

So what? Somebody might buy them, maybe not. We'll survive. Personally, I've
started looking at other solutions like Ensim, Plesk, and CPanel. I am about
to stand up a FreeBSD or RedHat test box with CPanel's bluesim theme, as
seen here:

The only drawback to CPanel is the recurring monthly fee. That's a real
drag. But at least you get monthly patches, so maybe it's worth it. We'll
soon see.
