The post here is pretty confusing (so no blame to anyone who reads this as "IPFS the project" shutting down instead of just a single maintainer team, it's totally misleading) - but this is actually just a sunset announcement for _Shipyard_ - one of many IPFS implementation maintainers.

*The IPFS Project is not sunsetting or shutting down* - just switching to individual maintainer grants instead of centralized implementation support within Shipyard.

@dang yes, and title is editorialized, the real one is "The end of IPFS at Shipyard" which is more informative

It's still a a real loss, those are widely used products, but the signal that Protocol Labs is sending about IPFS in defunding this might be even worse for the ecosystem. Cloudflare, Brave, and now Protocol Labs have abandoned it.

		Except no-one knows what shipyard is and it could more easily be mistaken for the end of IPFS. Maintainers of IPFS are winding down is much more informative for those not in the space.

		This is worth a flag. IPFS no longer having mantainers is VERY far from one company not supporting IPFS anymore.

one of many, or the main maintainers? seems like they run a lot of the well known public infra too.
