Mozilla kills embedding support for Gecko layout engine (The H) Posted Apr 2, 2011 12:47 UTC (Sat) by mpr22 (subscriber, #60784) [Link] You answer your own question. If nobody who cares about the project is in a position to provide the necessary resources (labour, web presence) to support and distribute the project (while not neglecting their other priorities), it dies. Even if it is FOSS - though a FOSS project is likely to be more resurrectable.
