The only reason why this canary is slightly more interesting than the others is because this is a Salvadorian company. It's a good intelligence point to have. I'm currently giving it a 5% chance to be an intentional non-renewal though. If everyone is talking about high stress and burnout right when this was supposed to be renewed, then there's, imho, no reliable datapoint.

@boltz guys are too meticulous and organized to just let the canary lapse. They also read this board. I am worried because Salvador company or not, they are EU citizens.

Your opinion is noted. Hope that the canary not triggering wasn't the only thing standing between you and a 6ft deep box, that'd be unfortunate

I still maintain a canary is only good if it is all or nothing: they get one shot to let it expire and anything they say after should probably be with the assumption that they are compromised.

Exactly, precisely like the last time you and I discussed this. All this does is cast shade upon the integrity of the people responsible for maintaining the canary. I won't forget, I don't think you will either.

FWIW...

I'm reducing my "chance that this was an intentional non-renewal" to 4%, from 5%
I'm increasing my "chance that this was an unintentional non-renewal" to 16%, from 5%

I'm keeping my "canaries are kinda pointless and often work against the publisher" at 100% though.
