One thing that was never (explicitly) stated in public, but was told to me off-line, was that they'd discovered various security flaws in the software, and it was a huge job to try to fix them.
Understandably they didn't want to shout about that in public on the internet. They wanted to migrate people off the platform and close it down before there was any major security breach.
Sad days, but the Edge is a pretty damn fine replacement for my usage.
Yes, it will probably happen to the Edge sometime in the future, but something else will no doubt emerge that suits the users of the day. Social evolution :-)
