What Happened to Ubuntu Core (RootFS)?

Question

I was planning to use the Ubuntu Core RootFS (NOT SNAPPY) for a POC at work - but it seems the wiki entries and subpages are gone!!!

Does anyone know if Canonical has abandoned this???

Here's a few previously relevant links (they're dead now):

I believe it's been renamed to ubuntu-base, which can be found here.

That seems to be the case. I had a small heart attack when the wiki disappeared. Relevant wiki is here: wiki.ubuntu.com/Base It would have been nice of Canonical to just link the old wiki page to the new one. Thanks James!!!

Even nicer would have been if they hadn't changed the name. I'm going to guess we have marketing to thank for this?
