Sad day. WP Super Cache has been one of the best plugins in my opinion, mainly for its ease of use and doing exactly what it advertised. Not more not less.

With the past take-overs I sadly have little hopes that Jetpack will turn it into something useful, but instead use it for their internal marketing, maybe even pushing their other solutions.

“plan to modernize” reads as “plan to introduce additional features that are neither requested nor useful to the everyday user”.
