Because December is the last 'hopeful' month mentioned in your FAQ...beyond that seemed 'who knows...'

Emphasis mine.
This and the seemingly 'conditional' status of even this month's hopefuls also led to the other troubled questions later in the thread if this was still looking like uncharted territory beyond December, and that asked about how much warning we would receive, etc.
For those that read only the FAQ and haven't seen the full thread and answers to those questions, they were answered in October.
Yes, things were still progressing at that time, no, they certainly won't shut it down without a good degree of warning, they can't possibly give timelines on how the new stuff is progressing because for many of them it is their 2nd or even 3rd job so anything they say could be proved immediately inaccurate... and more to the point, "It is not our intention to take Layonara down before the new game is available. There are things that could cause Layonara to come down before though, but they mostly rest on the shoulders of everybody in the community-- as a whole. The world hasn't gone down in 5.5 years...why would we do it now?"
I hope that these summaries and direct quotes help some in deciding if any amount of fun time we have before moving on for those of us that do, is still worth the effort, as well as clarifying the reason why December still has a magic name. Welcome to Layo, regardless.
