I don't think Salesforce is probably planning on sunseting Heroku anytime soon.

But they seem to be totally starving it, allocating it the minimum of resources they think they can to keep it going pretty much as it is without any new features.

Based on how they handled the recent security update, I won't be surprised if it... just kind of crumbles into the sea at some point.

We all know that software doesn't just "keep working" at all without continual maintenance. For several different reasons, security being one of them. Heroku's ability to keep "just working" with the languages/platforms it does, as new versions of such come out, seems to be dependent on an increasingly smaller workforce that goes above and beyond.
