It doesn't sound to be true IMHO but development of any product depends on the demand of that product.  DW was in demand when people started learning HTML/CSS and when they were creating websites using the wonderful thing called Tables.
Recently, the trend has been to use CMS packages like Joomla, Drupal, Wordpress and others so Adobe will certainly continue developing DW as long as there is a demand.  However, people using CMS websites don't really need DW so only the time will tell whether DW continues as it is all whether it adapts so that people can do something different with it.  It is more like a company called Nero which was making CD/DVD writing siftware but these days CD/DVDs are becoming obsolete and people are using flash/pen drives and external hard disks or portable hard disks.  So Nero's products are going for a sausage.  I bought Nero Burning Rom for £10 from them when the same product would have cost me £75 in 2001.
