Maybe I'm wrong, but that certainly appears to be the case from what I saw reading through feature requests, etc. Technologies like Discourse, etc. have a more active development community and the popularity of older technogies is decreasing. No, I don't believe mail or usenet is going away anytime soon, but the feature set is going to remain pretty static - with the new feature sets going to things like Discourse. I did search on knode and found that development was discontinued - and there isn't really a plethora of nntp clients available - as there was decades ago. People generally have moved on.
