I want to thank the Collaboration team for taking this brave step - and yes, it's a brave step. The natural trajectory of large projects that don't quite seem to meet their promise is to keep going and going until everyone is burnt out, and it is courageous to say "this isn't going where we wanted it to" and break that cycle. Most of the people who are currently involved in Flow and the Collaboration team were not there when it started, and they joined a project that had very mixed levels of support that had very challenging and broad objectives. We as a community can learn a lot from their experience, and we really should make an effort to examine this project and use this experience to re-examine and improve the process of developing new software.
+1 - it's far better to kill it now than later.
Flow is not being killed.
In addition to maintaining and supporting it, we'll soon be working on rolling out a Beta feature to allow people to enable Flow on their user talk pages.
After that, we'll start work on workflows, as noted in the original email. Workflows were *always* planned to be the next stage of Flow. That's the whole reason it's called Flow.
