Is this the end of Sound Forge?

I sent an email to support asking about a possible Sound Forge update and they said the following:

"Currently, there are no official plans or announcements for the next release in the SOUND FORGE product line. At this point, we can't really say what the future holds for this line and what a future release schedule could look like. Such decisions may come during the course of this and next year, where there will be a lot of rethinking of product/company strategy and portfolio".

@john_barr Is this a problem? I personally still use SF12 and it works fine. It seems like SF18 also is less buggy than previous versions 16 and 17.

For editing WAV files and it's scripting capabilities it's good enough.

@SP.

The developer stops updating a program, it will not receive improvements and will not have its bugs fixed. If there is no problem, then all programs should be discontinued.
