Ford cans Hurricane project?

Just read on Blueoval news that Ford has discontinued the hurricane project due to funding. Are they serious? Didnt they just approve the project a few weeks ago?

First goes the Lightning, then the Cobra (granted they will make a comeback in a few years), and now the hurricane is dropped. Is this temporary or permanent?

Am I the only one thats confused by the sudden changes of heart?

Was the Hurricane project an SVT thing? I've read about SVT being curtailed a bit and the Lightning and Cobra being put on the back burner, but I really hadn't heard much about the Hurricane. How was it being developed?

the hurricane was an engine to go in the 150, 250, 350, expy, and excursion
it was supposedly a 400+ hp 6.2l V8
