Yes, it's very disappointing, although not surprising. I'm especially sad that Rhythmbox is going to be unmaintained. I use it almost every day (and am currently using it right now). In general I prefer GNOME and its utilities over KDE equivalents and use it extensively. However, much of the GNOME ecosystem is directly or indirectly supported by Red Hat, which has been a good steward historically. Now under IBM, this belt tightening seems to put that entire ecosystem at peril. Perhaps KDE will prove to be a more resilient choice?
