So this was never publicly announced and has had no visible effect, to the point that the latest version of all the code is still publicly available under a free license and volunteers are still encouraged to contribute?
At the time there were projects about to start for improving the installer, making extension management better, and a few other third-party things. They were dropped to "narrow scope". In practice third-party support was the only thing that year dropped from scope. So, maybe not a visible effect because it maintained the status quo, but there was definitely an effect.
