OTOH, unless we hear back from 'Michael the Slackware
user' to clarify this, I'd also speculate whether
Michael could have really meant that "Slackware is going
away" in particular from _his_ _own_ _machine(s)_ ??

Am an admitted Slackware[2] user as well :-)

The direct link to the DistroWatch Slackware page is [3],
and DistroWatch itself provides a weekly summary of
distros'-related news at [4] (list of weekly summaries
starting from the current week on top.)

Also note from the LinuxQuestions.org Slackware Forum [5]
and from Slackware's unofficial SlackBlogs [6] that there
is _no_ current mention of Slackware Linux's imminent or
future demise.
