I'm also not aware of anyone being dissuaded, but for what it's worth,
one person did show interest in helping shortly after the sunsetting,
but this person didn't have much Ubuntu experience and no packaging
skills, and wouldn't be able to carry any of the necessary work needed
to maintain an official flavor, not sure if that was what Eric might
have referred to (the other person's name is Joshua), but in that case
it wasn't as much dissuasion as just not feasible.
