The founder of the Antergos distribution has announced the cessation of development after seven years of work on the project. The reason for stopping development is cited as the lack of free time among the remaining maintainers to keep the distribution at an adequate level.

Today, high availability of services is required everywhere, not just in large, expensive projects. Temporarily unavailable websites with the message 'Sorry, we're performing maintenance' are still encountered, but they usually elicit a wry smile. Add to this the cloud era, where launching an additional server requires just one API call, without worrying about physical infrastructure […]
