LMS on latest ReadyNAS products?

Logitech has EOL'd the Squeezebox line of gear and laid off some LMS developers so it's just a matter of time before LMS goes. Surprised that you are even considering Netgear NAS products - your NVX is also EOL - new NAS software on the new NAS product line is NOT backwards compatible.
Here's a link to a comment from a long time (still employed I think) LMS developer answering your question about LMS & the new NAS products.

Thank you Jim for your answer. I'm aware of the fact that Logitech ditched the Squeezebox lineup. But that really doesn’t matter. I have 5 Squeezeboxes alive and kicking around the house and there are still plenty of SB’s around the Internet. Moreover, we’ll soon have a Squeezebox follow up due to the efforts of a few Slimdevices forum members who are developing a next gen Squeezebox. LMS will still be around like forever since it is mostly open source and downloadable from the Slimdevices wiki anyway.
My NVX maybe EOL but it is still running fine. Netgear is still providing support and bug fixes for it so I don’t have a reason to panic. This is simply natural product evolution.
I asked the question should I ever want to upgrade to a newer Netgear device. I don’t think it should be too difficult for Netgear to have LMS running on their newer models since the OS is still Linux. But I guess only Netgear people could tell us of LMS will ever be supported or not.
