It's not very unlikely; it's something that will definitely happen at some point (in the case of SourceForge, well over a decade). Most projects will migrate away, but there will be losses.
- gkya 11y agoThough note that SF did not die overnight, it is still lingering. However I, too, believe that most stuff will survive, but I think that it'd take a good while to adapt. And when I say "a good while" take in consideration that articles/releases more than a couple month old are considered ancient these days.
