replyFrom their blog: "I'm still proud of ProseMirror, and ProseMirror isn't going anywhere—it will continue to be maintained."

replyWhich is a thing that I never said. In fact I went out of my way in all the announcements to stress that ProseMirror maintenance is continuing as it has been.
The only scary thought is that all these important operations don't have a plan B if prosemirror, a software they don't write, don't own and presumably don't pay, goes away.
replyMany of them do pay.
replyAlso MIT-licensed software doesn't 'go away' all that easily. If a piano fell on my head tomorrow, interested parties would probably manage to continue development in a fork.

replyObligatory xkcd: https://xkcd.com/2347/
replybut as @john_strinlai as I have said it doesn't seem like Prosemirror is going unmaintained. It will continue to be maintained
but I think its worth thinking about the structure of the whole thing being so similar to the xkcd which is what might be the scary part of it.
