Totally understandable, but the justification in the first paragraph of "Why are we doing this now?" seems a bit self-inflicted:
• Atom has not had significant feature development for the past several years
• (thus) Atom community involvement has declined significantly
• (thus) we’ve decided to sunset Atom
Feels a bit weird in that sequence to blame the community. Just say that YOU have abandoned the project since Microsoft acquired Github and get done with it, no need to sugarcoat it or others in the way.
