I somewhat disagree on the last part. There will be no new software revisions from Philips but all the software/firmware that has been released to date and published to this site will remain here. So, you have access to currently released firmware and editor for the duration as well as all the information on this site. Daniel has already indicated that he has no plans to remove the forums or the files..

With regard to calling Philips to get a bugfix, pretty much no one did that anyway. They would come here and we either find a workaround or one of us (beta team) worked with philips to get the issue reproduced so it could be fixed.

Admittedly, Philips will no longer be writing new software for the platform but the stuff in place will survive for many years to come. Look at the Classic Prontos, many of which, are still in use today and the last one rolled off the line at least 6 years ago when the NG models were introduced.
