Yes. There was a lot of discussion. I'd post a link, but it is difficult from the cell phone. (Not a iPhone issue, more an issue incorrect operator head space).
Seems that a disproportionate number of small RV manufacturers that made the "better" motor homes have vanished. Let's hope that there are enough lessons learned for LD to avoid that trend.
"Speculative" posts on the closure from the Born Free forum:

The BF thread reads as a sorrowful tale. It's leads one to wonder if and when "Thor The Giant" will consume and destroy another venerable brand.
Reading the posts seems much like the discussions that have appeared here over the past year since the heralding of the e450 chassis's demise has been made "seemingly" apparent.
Driving up on a Sprinter Chassis the other day, I wondered..."What the heck is that narrow toy up ahead"? When I drove past it, I couldn't believe how small it was. What really blew me away was the fact that it had a slide out. "What are they thinking"?, I pondered and thanked my Lazy Daze and its lucky star and just kept on going.
