Actually, this makes me think of the giant software corporation CA. Larry Ellison of Oracle referred to CA as "where software goes to die" because of this business practice. When Oracle says that, you know it's bad. Every time I'm at some company where an entrenched piece of software that has a declining user base (Erwin data modeling software, Rally for Agile, etc) I discover that CA has bought it, put it on life support, and let it just slowly rot.
