Sustainability: ultimately, you can keep it running forever if you 
want to;
Further versions: 2.0 is imminent and work has started on the new 2.1 
development edition;
Supports: There are a number of people offering support services, as 
well as the "best efforts" free services by email;
Commercial system: some commercial work on koha already takes place, 
by myself and others, who would be happy to advise if you have a more 
specific request;
Discontinued: not as long as someone is willing to keep the skills to 
continue it.

At present, I think you just have to convince the kaitiaki (Pat) that 
you are competent.
