Correct. This is the real reason there were no packages at Thanksgiving, and why there won't be any at Christmas. Can't offer packages when the game is soon to have life support pulled. Im quite sure that is the etiquette.
When the critical mass is hit, of people dropping out, they can then shut down the servers, and the forum.
