The CEO addressed a similar comment on Twitter recently. From what he's saying, it seems Hashicorp is standing by Nomad for the foreseeable future. https://twitter.com/mitchellh/status/1247581788706197504

It would be very odd if he said the opposite, since customers could be spooked. But saying it's going to be around is very different from saying it will always have a lot of resources on it going forward, especially compared to their cash cows of consul and vault.

"standing by" until they're not. If their VCs start applying pressure to dump the unprofitable projects and seek more profits, their tune will change in an instant. At the end of the day these are for-profit entities, and the only thing that matters is profit.
The only reason they're pursuing this strategy is because they think they can get a piece of the kubernetes market. If that doesn't pan out, they will dump nomad like a bad habit.
For-profit companies aren't open source charities.
