Sounds pretty dead to me. And this was after the long silence on the status of the project and the site outages.

Where does it say it's dead and locked?  I see that last part saying there's the possibility, not that there is none.  If it happens, then there's the possibility for vendors to continue making things for the gen 4 figures, and the likelyhood they'll still sell.  I've developed several characters around several figures, I can't say I have one real favorite, I like V4 for some, M4 for a couple.  Anastasia and Antonia, Tyler and James have their places.  I doubt I'm much different from anyone else.  There may be a couple in my runtimes I don't use, that doesn't mean I'm going to delete them.

Doric.

You're talking about two different things. While gen 4 items should still be made, the tone of that post should be read sound like that's it's less likely to happen as the more time passes.  But the fact that a weightmapped M4 will probably not happen unless someone capable of weightmapping and re-rigging, and adding the proper JCMs to M4 steps up to take over the project, that shouldn't keep you from continuing from using the regular figures.
