Trust in what? A quick look at the announcement, and the threads underneath, indicate (a) users expected it to die two years ago (that's a LOT of notice), and (b) it wasn't meant to be a production-grade OS.
Yes it's not nice that it's disappeared at no notice, but it wasn't unexpected. And if it's outlived its usefulness to Intel, why are you surprised? Especially if that purpose/usefulness was explicitly stated (dunno if it was ...) than you CAN trust them to live up to what they say ... even if you don't like it.
