The TrueCrypt developer(s) may be under a government gag order and this may just be their way of letting us know without saying "The Government can crack TrueCrypt, it is not fit for purpose anymore"
Apart from one Tor developer who, without presenting any details, claims there was a "warrant canary" from Truecrypt almost 10 years ago, can you cite a single crypto expert who believes that this is the case? Or are you just saying about Truecrypt what you could say about virtually any other privacy-relevant software on the Internet at any time?
This may be another Lavabit situation.
