What does it mean? Aleth is discontinued?

I think that we should also clarify what the current limitations of Aleth are and where it can provide value, i.e. that it's protocol-compliant with mainnet and ropsten but has perf issues related to importing new blocks due to its management of the state which prevents one from being able to keep up-to-date with mainnet.

@moneroexamples We are discussing how to proceed with maintaining Aleth, nothing is finalized yet. For the time-being we have switched our focus to the consensus layer (i.e. VM changes such as implementing new EIPs) and testing-related changes.
