It's been around forever, but your concern is real. Who's to say an OSS project won't get archived, or removed from the internet? Why invest time into anything when it will all be replaced eventually?

edit: Looks like this OSS project was launched and cancelled in a single day.

Touché :-)

However the idea of a federated search is some measure of protection against that. If it ever happens.
