[LAU] Harrison Mixbus on Linux still relevant, used?

Hi LAUs, I have often considered getting Harrison Mixbus as a 'more pro' version of Ardour which has always seemed a rather competitive pricepoint in the market, strong Linux commitment and familiarity with Ardour workflow. I'm wondering what impact their (now 1 year-old) announcement about not developing plug-ins for Linux any more have on Linux users potentially buying a license? [1] It seems the plug-ins they are referring to are not the ones shipped with mixbus, which if I also understand correctly are 'mixbus only' plugins. It wouldn't seem to hint to any drop of Linux support in general ("There are no plans to discontinue Mixbus or XT software for Linux users, this applies to the plug-ins only"). Something else I'm also wondering, and I understand this might be a bit more of an 'edge' question, is if / how supporting mixbus by buying it also somehow supports Ardour of if direct support to Ardour is better / preferred. I understand these questions could be more relevant asked directly in the specific lists / fora of these software but I do think that with both now being cross-platform a Linux angle might be interesting (and these are and have been Linux Audio 'flagship' software...) :-) Curious about ideas / experiences / thoughts.
