Because there are people running businesses on dotCloud currently?
Because, at least in my humble opinion, it's actually better than Heroku?
Because, at a minimum, cutting it off at the knees would engender tons and tons of bad will amongst their current customers?
Because the customers deserve a couple of 'writing on the wall' style posts like this to begin thinking about migrating to alternatives before the cutoff is actually announced, forcing their hand in what could be 'too short a time period' to get migrated?
The more time they buy their existing customers before dismantling what works, and what people are paying them for, the better.
That said, this is the 'writing on the wall' that people should be looking for alternatives, at the barest minimum.
It may not be the writing on the wall, since running a docker PaaS will be a useful way to understand ... what problems you encounter while running a docker PaaS.
But we'll see, I guess.
