Answering myself:
While I still would like to hear opinions about this, it seems that the 
thread mentioned below was just FUD...

      <br>
      I've been using openbox for ages and have no reasons to complain.
      <br>
      However, I have recently seen posts like this
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/anyone-interested-in-taking-over-openbox-4175618383/">&lt;https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/anyone-interested-in-taking-over-openbox-4175618383/&gt;</a>
      where people claim that openbox is "dead" and "unmaintained".
      <br>
      This isn't the first time I'm hearing something like this. Also
      please note that these claims are unrelated to wayland changes.
      <br>
      <br>
      Also note further down: "I asked in their forum about the
      development, not the actual maintainers, just some peeps hanging
      in the channel and they said it was no longer active." - I don't
      even know what that means, openbox doesn't have a forum?
      <br>
      <br>
      I know that the 2 main developers regularly answer questions here,
      which in my opinion kindof proves that openbox is not "dead";
      <br>
      What is your (Mikael Magnusson, Dana Jansens) take on these
      rumours?
      <br>
      It would be nice to reply to these claims with some sort of
      authoritative answer.
