>Fuchsia is in production; in people's homes today. You can't kill the whole project without a plan for those devices. What if there is a bug in the kernel? Who's going to fix those devices, who's going to ensure a security update comes out?

Given google's track record (cutting that RSS feed) wouldn't surprise me they would just cut the whole project. They main bread and butter is somewhere else. It is time to move away from this company product.

10 years ago, Google cancelled a mildly popular $0 revenue web app.

Seems they killed a tiny bit more that a mildly popular $0 revenue web app: https://killedbygoogle.com/

Cutting a feature on their Mail client is different from a physically shipped product.

I agree though, maybe Google should drop the entire device’s organization. Or spin-off nest.
