Extremely sad news for Bukkit

[DeeKay]

Never thought I'd have to see this kind of news from Bukkit.
This truly sucks, have a read:

Update:
It seems like there is a lot of confusion/jumping to conclusions on this. A tweet from Jeb stating EvilSeph doesn't have any say in whether the project is discontinued or not: https://twitter.com/jeb_/status/502380018216206336

EvilSeph replies: https://twitter.com/EvilSeph/status/502384952944885760

Spigot owner md_5's tweet on the subject, saying Spigot development will continue: https://twitter.com/md__5/status/502377670210891776

Wow...so this is the end of bukkit... unless this (https://twitter.com/Dinnerbone/status/502381093731831808) Is actually going to happen.

Wow...so does this mean, no bukkit plugins too for 1.8, i assume not... because there will be no bukkit...!? This was so unexpected. :/

Mojang owns bukkit, it's not his to discontinue. EvilSeph is stupid for making the post. His post has caused a shitstorm. Dinnerbone will be updating bukkit to 1.8.

Yeah, after posting i realised what i said was stupid after reading the twitter posts, i just modified it as you were posting

I don't believe we're even using Bukkit. Spigot seems to be pretty self sufficient these days.

That's besides the point though. Spigot is a modification of CraftBukkit, just made more efficient. Without updates from Bukkit, Spigot wouldn't function. If Dinnerbone/Mojang don't go ahead with the updates for Bukkit (which I'm sure they will, they wouldn't let such a big part of multiplayer die), then md_5 would most likely have to do a fair amount of work on Spigot.

Like I said, lets hope Bukkit is handed over to someone who is capable of updating it.

Uhh... seems like mojang's already made up their mind to the descision...
