What about community forks like 9front that provides updates and improvements? Will they be ignored?

Who is exactly behind the foundation?

It's more about preservation, like a museum of software history.

Yep 9front is alive and well. They're occasionally adding new drivers, fixing bugs, making semi-regular releases, dog-fooding the thing daily, etc. Also the artwork/banter is top-notch (if you ignore a couple loud controversies).
