This also includes ceasing development and destroying their copies of the code.
The GitHub repo page for Yuzu now returns a 404, as well. In addition, the repo for the Citra 3DS emulator was also taken down.

It’s not yet clear if this is the end of Yuzu, since copies of both the emulator and its source code are in the wild.
Some online supporters specifically mentioned backing up the code after Nintendo sued two weeks ago.
But now, Nintendo and Tropic Haze are asking a judge to specifically find that Yuzu circumvents its copyright protections by using those keys, even if it doesn’t come with them.
