(1) People aren't often good at communicating their intent with language. It requires using public meanings (words) assembled in some order to reflect a private meaning which is non-linguistic.
(2) I think something like "At the moment it's funded, but I can't legally bind my org to that commitment. And in general, as software comes-and-goes, it's future utility and support is always hard to pin-down".
I mention (1) because I think (2) can be inferred from the comment, and I think we have some responsibility as readers/listeners to do that; rather than expect all communication will be clear to us.
