Most of the engineers are gone from delicious; one ex-engineer describes that it's on "life support". And it's run by Yahoo, which is pruning unprofitable services aggressively. User:Edward Vielmetti
There are a bunch of engineers on the team; I'm a current (non-engineer) member and I wouldn't call it on "life support". Brittag 17:25, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
