The team behind Buckminster has every intention of keeping the tool
stable and supported.

I don't think this is the right reasoning to have. If Buckminster
satisfies all your needs (stable, supported, etc), then you should
keep it, especially considering that the switch of technology can be
quite time consuming (we believe it took more a one-man year to do the
whole conversion of the platform), and that there are features in
Buckminster that are more powerful than those found in Maven/Tycho.
The platform had to move to Tycho/CBI to enable the LTS and Polarsys
initiatives. I think that if it had not been for those reasons, the
move to Tycho may have never occurred (or at a much slower pace).
After all PDE Build still works well and has been stable for quite
some time now.

Hi
Is this a strong indication that Buckminster is doomed as in in-house
technology, and that all projects that migrated to Buckminster should
start to plan for a migration to Tycho?

I think most are aware that we in the Platform (with help from many
others) have been working to move our builds to use Tycho and Maven
(instead of PDE Batch Builds) to build our deliverables. This is part
of the "CBI efforts" and more specifically motivated by the Eclipse
Foundation's LTS program.
