See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46136023 - MinIO is now in maintenance-mode

It was pretty clear they pivoted to their closed source repo back then.

Maintenance-mode is very different from "THIS REPOSITORY IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED".

    Yes, the difference is the latter means "it is no longer maintained", and the former is "they claim to be maintaining it but everyone knows it's not really being maintained".

      in theory "maintenance mode" should mean that they still deal with security issues and "no longer maintained" that they don't even do that anymore...

      unless a security issue is reported it does feel very much the same...

    Given the context is a for-profit company who is moving away from FOSS, I'm not sure the distinction matters so much, everyone understands what the first one means already.
