"sunsetting" is better than corp-speak saying "handing it off to community maintenance"

Especially, if there isn't a dedicated community to maintain it.

I'll take honesty over corp-speak any day.

That said we probably only get honesty, because they want us using vscode instead.

Corporate speak involves blatant ambiguity and kafkaesque messaging. "Sunsetting" has a very direct meaning for GitHub, whether it gets supported by the community is something else.
