We're not abandoning the idea, just the current project architecture. Reading more carefully, it's saying the architecture PaaS is currently built on is reaching the end of its days. It's natural to revise this after 7 years. Outcomes of the next round may be a new PaaS for government (and hopefully civil) deployments, with more flexibility around the cloud targets to allow hybrid on-prem, colo, and mixed cloud substrate. If anything that strengthens hybrid resilience against mono-cultures or foreign influence.
