WindRiver gone for 2015?

I've read in a few places that WindRiver will no longer be used, starting in 2015. This link here:

(from a alpha test team), says C++ will be done in Eclipse (as opposed to Wind River's brand of Eclipse). Like a lot of teams, we hope to keep our cRIOs around for testing, experimentation, and such. How in the world are we going to continue to program the older systems without Wind River? If I'm not mistaken, the license for WindRiver is time-bombed.

I understand RoboRio is the future, and cold cutover to the new system, and all that. We plan to start off with two RoboRios (one from the KOP). Keeping a cRIO or two around gives us more options for things like experimenting with a different drive train, etc.
