Cumulus dropping non-Nvidia hardware?

I stumbled on this nugget looking at the release notes for Cumulus Linux 4.4:

Unsupported Platforms

Cumulus Linux 4.4 supports NVIDIA Spectrum-based ASIC platforms only. This release removes support for Broadcom-based networking ASICs. Broadcom-based ASICs will continue to be supported throughout the life of the Cumulus Linux 3.7 and 4.3 releases.

Has anyone heard anything about Nvidia making Cumulus an internal NOS only? I can only find news about the acquisition a year ago.

I'm in the market for another switch but this would change that calculus.
