the typical use case is imho to have such software around for months to
be able to file taxes, or correct tax statements, up to several months
after the due date. The statement only means that the original taxbird
software will no longer be developed by its author, so it will stop
being useful after you need to file tax statements for 2013. He also
explains that the successor project is a complete rewrite, using a
vastly different technology (XUL, HTML5 and Node.js instead of C and
GTK+), so I guess it will take some time until the dust settles on that
one.


Kind regards,
