Before anyone just shunts this aside as "some random blogger", or says "I've already heard CyanogenMod shut down", let me give you some context: first off, this article is long (this is not the blogspam you might randomly assume: click the link and give it a chance) and is not just telling you the conclusion, but showing you a retrospective on them, talking about how things got to where they eventually did.

Second, the author here is important. I'm struggling to come up with the right analogy for people who might not realize who Russell Holly is, but maybe something akin to Android's John Gruber or John Siracusa. At major Android events, such as the Big Android BBQ, Russell was not just "there", but "central": everyone knew who he was and everyone had extreme respect for his position in the community.
