Stibo Systems is focused on the most relevant capabilities for our customer base. When a component status changes, it is to simplify the component list, minimize support on components that have an improved substitute, and remove clutter and uncertainty as to which component(s) to use. The same concept applies when functionality changes within a component's lifecycle.
