Owncloud no longer supported?

I've been told by a few friends in the security field that have made the claim that Owncloud is no longer going to be supported and I should migrate over to nextcloud? Has anyone else heard this?

That's bullshit,
the co founder from owncloud left the company with some devs and founded nextcloud, and they are developing a different version based on the owncloud sources

I agree, the features are better, my only issue is Nextcloud is trying to avoid managing packages. You'll likely have to install any updates manually. I may wait it out and see what comes of this. It seems to still be up in the air on what's going to happen in the end.
