The Interactive Team is working on stabilising its products and code so that they can go in to maintenance mode. Please see T155601 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T155601 for more information.
The long-term future of the maps product is still awaiting a decision by the senior management.

Thanks Dan. Hopefully that decision about maps will be made before the WMF 17-18 AP is finalized. (Self-disclosure: I haven't looked at the AP yet and probably won't have time to do so until at least June).
