They can't "depreciate" an OSS project just because it's hosted on a platform they own. Atom will live on one way or another, and it was never exactly tied at the hip with GitHub anyway.

Well, they can stop paying people to work on it and divorce GitHub from it entirely. I’m sure it would still available and worked on though.
