They're so late to party publishing news for it that the project has been renamed, abandoned, resumed, retargeted to a whole other platform, and maybe abandoned again (at least dormant), since that latest release they are reporting about.

Seems strange to me that they seemingly abandoned the entire project just because the latest-greatest Kobo's might have secure boot on them.
Libreboot, for example, is still an active project, and I don't think it supports any processors newer than circa 2010! But they still maintain the existing inventory. |

Yes, development has shifted to the PineNote. It is very much *not* dead there: https://github.com/PorQ-Pine

Given that Quill OS is dead for Kobo, why is this posted here?

Well, dang, that's on me for not noticing the link out to the different repo. Glad to see it's still got life. I had run in on a Kobo Glo HD for a bit.
