We always tell you the truth. No, Chaos (we are Chaos too btw, there's no "us and them") did not tell us to stop development. We don't have enough developers to ensure a high standard of quality on our existing versions and create new versions, so the new versions had to be brought to a stop. Why would we not say that, when it's the truth? While we'd love to give you good news, that still applies, there was no sudden change in the number of good developers applying.
