Looking at the change to the README last week[1], it looks like MinIO went from "MinIO has no planned or scheduled releases for this repository" and " While a new release may be cut at any time, there is no timeline for when a subsequent release may occur." to "The MinIO community edition is now distributed as source code only".

Based on promises alone, I think that means they un-dropped the open source project but still only distribute the binaries to their customers.
