What's the Future of ArcIMS?

Many people may be wondering what's the future of ArcIMS?

While it probably won't go away anytime soon, its probably a safe to bet that it has reached the end of development. The not so subtle hint from ESRI was spoken at this year's Developer's Summit: There are no ArcIMS sessions other than how to migrate from ArcIMS to ArcGIS Server. It shouldn't come as too much of a surprise, nearly a year ago, ArcIMS was declared a dead product by a blogger.

Why does this matter to Wisconsin? Of Wisconsin's 72 counties, 61 have ArcIMS-based web mapping sites, 5 are on other platforms, and only 1 is ArcGIS Server.
