but I get the feeling someone at FIRST decided it was time to move on.

well, sure. I think it's great that FIRST is evolving. I think it was necessary to move to a better controller. While i liked IFI, i did not like how proprietary there stuff was.
with the new cRIO a lot of stuff is Open Source. That in itself i think will help shape FIRST in a good way.
But, even though we have a new control system, that doesn't mean IFI is out. The way i see it, is that IFI might just be taking a breather and could provide something in the KOP in a couple years. I don't think they will provide as much as they did before, but that too could be a good thing.
Keyword, might. I really don't know for sure, but i don't think you are right in assuming the worst. You really should never assume anything.
