What is the future of Paragon? Is is going to be Sunset? When?

I’m currently working out my notice on the Paragon Services team. Allscripts will continue to milk the revenue stream, maximizing profits by sending all Paragon work to India. While they bastardize the software, and run off anyone who makes too much money. They’re hoping Paragon customers will buy into their Sunrise Community Care platform.
If C-Suite were smart, they'd keep Paragon. There are two reasons that have been documented in previous missives: The justifications include the saddling of our clients with Indian 'tech experts', which most of the modern world knows is a joke.
The other is using domestic tech labor that may or may not be worth using at this point because they just see no sense opening one's throat for sharper blade.
They already said 3 years before it will be sunset
If they sunset Paragon, a lot of those customers will leave for Meditech or Cerner Community or Epic Community Connect vs. migrating to Sunrise which be more costly than the competitors.
So they may just leave it alone and keep the existing revenue stream.
