Logitech still maintains it, there are usually a few commits every
month:
- 7.8: https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/commits/public/7.8
- 7.7: https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/commits/public/7.7

As far as I know, nobody in the community is working on a community
version of LMS so far, there have been some discussions but not much
interest among developers so far. It might still happen, but no activity
in this direction have started yet as far as I know.

Nobody have announced to the public that they are working on a
LMS/mysqueezebox.com replacement so far, but this doesn't mean that it
doesn't happen, things could be going on in private and just not be
ready to be exposed to the public yet...

They all base the decisions on their typical customer and how much the
products sells. 
Based on this, Logitech stopped selling Squeezeboxes and Sonos don't
implement 24/96 and Linn will continue to have a premium price, this is
what makes most sense for each one of them from and economical
perspective.

The fact that Logitech stopped selling Squeezeboxes can actually be a
good thing in a few years, because it opens up this market segment to
other more creative companies which understand our needs better than
Logitech ever did, it will just take some time for them to develop new
products or adapt their existing products to fit our needs. I think the
next year is going to be pretty exciting even if it might not feel that
way at the moment.
