There is, of course, no reason to destroy the 11 years of foundational assets that 18F had published, which were relied on by governments around the world. It's destruction for the sake of destruction.

Oh man I used to know the originally-planned name! (Gray would know.) IIRC "U.S. Digital Service" was one of the candidates until EOP said "no we're gonna start another thing with that name."
Ha! Forgot that was the reason. When we spun 10x out as a separate entity in TTS it was named partly as a play on the two-numbers-and-a-letter thing from 18F & partly as a play on Silicon Valley’s borked-up obsession with “10x”-ing everything.
I’m wondering who will take over the work? I’ve heard that China and Russia have able “hackers”. Could THEY do this? I’m sure that our Dear Leader will give them clearances if those even matter anymore. Admittedly, having them work IN the office might be difficult as their commutes would be looong.
i guess i'm still lucky. i needed 18F.org, and it's here !
i needed Waldo Jaquith, and he's here !
i needed John Skiles Skinner, and he's here: https://bsky.app/profile/skiles.bsky.social
so now i know there will be more of them to follow, and i can go put my head gently on my goodnight pillow.
and then, a bonus: 🎇
