Does this mean that a Linux version of Netscape will no longer be
available, or that it *will* be available but unsupported?

That all depends on what you mean by "support". If you mean "we will no
longer make Netscape available for the Linux platform", that's not
support. If you mean "we will no longer respond to bug reports for
Netscape on this platform" then that's discontinuing support.
Please be more specific in your postings?
As a project manager and developer, I have constructed many a business
case for the development and/or support for products - such a case could
easily be made for Linux support for Netscape, irrespective of what you
mean by "support".
