You can't literally kill a FOSS project like you can with proprietary, but it can go away if nobody else wants to maintain it. FOSS projects die all the time.

FOSS projects die all the time. You might want to write a patch here and there, but do you want to do all the DevOps, pay for hosting, manage testing, etc?
Maintaining a project kinda sucks.
