Bukkit is done. Not updating for 1.8 http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/bukkit-its-time-to-say-goodbye.305106/ What are we going to do? Can't update to 1.8 without Bukkit and they just stepped out of the game!

They will be, but apparently Bukkit has been owned by Mojang for the last two years and it will still be updated. https://twitter.com/Dinnerbone/status/502381093731831808
