I won't presume to speak for the developers, but I believe that
Seamonkey is based on the code for both Firefox and Thunderbird. One of
the effects of this is that when Mozilla releases updates to those two
(including betas), and as a result, there tends to be a lag of about a
day or so before a corresponding to Seamonkey is released.
This is the case, as I write. Firefox 19.0 and Thunderbird 17.0.3 were
both released yesterday, but http://www.seamonkey-project.org/, the
current version is still reported at 2.15.2. I would expect 2.16 to
show up for the Windows version in the next few hours, and in Linux
repositories over the next few days.
What reason do you have to believe that the end of support for Seamonkey
might be imminent?

Thank you for the reply. According this article
http://blog.mozilla.org/beyond-the-code/2012/07/09/about-the-future-of-thunderbird/
Mozilla "[has] a solid plan to support Thunderbird until the second half of 2013 and
are discussing how [they] support it beyond that date." which makes the future of
Thunderbird unclear. I work for an academic institution so I just want to find potential
replacements for Thunderbird if somehow support ended and SeaMonkey would only be a
viable option if I was sure Mozilla would continue to support it past 2013. I would like
someone to confirm this.
I don't think Mozilla supports SeaMonkey at all.
SeaMonkey is developed by the SeaMonkey Project, using Mozilla products.
<http://www.seamonkey-project.org/about>
Well according to SeaMonkey Project News http://www.seamonkey-project.org/news on Feb 4th
there was a release stating "As part of Mozilla's ongoing stability and security
update process, SeaMonkey 2.15.2 is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux as a free
download from www.seamonkey-project.org." This led me to believe that Mozilla still
provides support for SeaMonkey. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Only logical since SeaMonkey follows the Firefox rapid release cycle.
If you check this page. You will see SeaMonkey is not listed as a product.
<http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/>
Following the link in "See even more awesome software based on Mozilla
technologies." near the bottom of that page, you will find a link to
SeaMonkey.
Also links to Lightning/Sunbird, Camino, Adobe Acrobat, Ample SDK,
Apica, Aptana Jaxer, Atmail Webmail Client, BlueGriffon, Buzzbird, and
63 others including Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Lunascape " With
Lunascape, the three most popular rendering engines (Trident, Gecko,
WebKit) have been integrated in a single browser." all Powered by Mozilla.
