What are you guys doing after craftbukkit goes dead?

I heard over the grape vine that craftbukkit will be discontinued in favor of a new, minecraft API with mojang and bukkit united.

That being said, unless plugin developers choose to convert their plugins to the new API, servers running 1.3.0 will not be able to run bukkit plugins.

What are you server owners doing to deal with this?

No

It's fine, I think the dupe post rule only applies to the same post by the same person.

Play Half Life 2: Episode 3.

3 words. Call Of Duty? what else.

yes.

Where does it say that this new API will be released at 1.3 and that Bukkit will be discontinued at 1.3?

Right here. If you want, you can see mojang's post here and Bukkit's post here

It it doesn't say bukkit will be discontinued at 1.3?

Topic should be closed... It hasn't been announced and simply will not happen.
