CoIDE - and CooCox - dead?

CoIDE is still listed as 'Active' by ST:

http://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/development-tools/software-development-tools/stm32-software-development-tools/stm32-ides/coide.html

But it seems that CooCox and CoIDE are, in fact, now dead - and have been for some time.

Therefore, I think these references should be removed - or, at least, marked as obsolete?

the development is dead - has been for a while.

the ide continues to work -> I'm working on a CoIDE 1.7x now.

Well, I guess once you've downloaded it there's no reason it should stop working

I have a number of apps on my PC which continue to work but are no longer available or supported - and haven't been for years.

The page linked from ST doesn't work any more - is there still a download site?

not sure about the download site: I stopped going there after v2.0.

v1.x is however fabulous. it remains my favorite platform for ARM chips.

Well, that was 2018 - it's not any more:
