CraftBukkit Is now DEAD! Spigot is Next!

It seems CraftBukkit's download page has been severed with a DMCA takedown.
The API page as of posting this is still up.
But the real question is...
Is Spigot next?
Update: RIP in piece, Spigot and Bukkit.
I don't know too much about this, but I think Wesley did the right thing. Imagine working your heart out on a project for 2 years, only to find out another company has owned your work, and decide to mess with the project. If this is to troll Mojang, I applaud him, and you should too.
Update 2: Thought I might include this in the OP. For Sponge, FAQ can be found here. The official webpage can be found here. Note that there has been a terrible attempt at a fake DMCA takedown for Sponge, if you want to have a little giggle, you can find that here. There is also a *clean-room* approach for a replacement called TridentSDK, GitHub repos can be found here and here. And let's not forget that @md_5 hasn't given up on Spigot just yet. Sponge's IRC is at irc.esper.net:6667#Sponge, make sure you read the topic before saying anything

why can't anybody just use Forge? I mean seriously.

This guy must be a time traveller. He traveled from January 2014 to December 2014 so he didn't heard about the DMCA stuff. Or he was living under a rock . . .

Spigot is run off the Bukkit API. They are essentially the same thing. They are both discontinued projects, and sponge is the next big thing.

Well, Bukkit will not be doing anything since all the staff left and they're left with a skeletoncrew, they cant even develop bukkit further since Wesley Wolf DMCA'd them.
Sure Bukkit Plugins are still being made, but they'll be used for Spigot servers, as any server running either Semi or full 1.8 can only do so through spigot.
The Devs over at Spigot have just updated to 1.8 so, bukkit plugins wont be dying off any time soon, but bukkit, as in the project itself is pretty much long dead.

They're not dead yknow... Bukkit's still verifying and testing new plugins the community feeds in and Spigot just released an experimental 1.8 jar. They're still developing, but unfortunately the DMCA's there slowing things down. There should still be hope though, you can't just say RIP when the communities are still active and working.
