Will normal computercraft still be updated?

I haven't been on in a months and forgot my old account, Then I saw this thing "computercraftEdu"

I'm probably never going to look at it again or try it in my lifetime, But will normal computercraft keep getting updated as usual?

Iv seen many developers quit old projects and only work on there new ones.

I dislike some of the features in computercraftedu, which is mainly why I'm not going to get it.
I'm just wondering if computercraftedu will out-grow the standard one and then computercraft computercraft will be left behind, If so I can switch to OpenComputers but I dislike how OpenComputers needs electricity.

Mainly What I'm saying is

If computercraftedu gets updated to minecraft 1.8, Will the standard good computercraft get updated to 1.8 at the same time or even earlier? (That's just an example, this could go for new api's or peripherals, I don't want this to end up like Cube World D:)

currently, if you download computercraftEDU, computercraft will be contained in the same folder. so i'm sure that if dan doesn't ADD anything to the mod, he will update it to be compatible for many versions to come.

I heard computercraft won't be updated for 1.8, but updated strait to 1.9. Not sure if it's true, but I saw it somewhere on the fourms.

ComputerCraftEDU is an add-on mod for ComputerCraft, and thus depend on it to run. Dan hasn't stated yet that he's leaving CC, so I guess we'll at the very least get a 1.9 update.
