If the project discontinues to be an Eclipse project then we can no longer produce a package.
FWIW, the author who decided to move it away from the Eclipse Foundation has the right continue building and providing a package on his own. Personally, I am against consuming and investing Foundation and Membership resources (hardware, traffic, webmaster time) into a package which value gets questioned by the author of the project benefiting from the Eclipse Foundation.

I think the message that EMO sent to cross-project a while ago makes a strong point:
* All features to the package must come through the simultaneous release *
https://www.eclipse.org/lists/cross-project-issues-dev/msg18148.html
I clearly don't see how it would be possible to ship features consumed from p2 repos *not* produced and hosted at eclipse.org.

Well, it's open source. If the main contributor decides it's not worth it then we are out of luck.
