What is Here and Maps future on 8.1?

[Windows Central Question]

what is Here and Maps future on 8.1?

Is Here maps being pulled from 8.1 devices or will it remain because it is an iteration of 8? I found the Here announcement unclear on that.

Will the Microsoft Maps app continue to be developed for 8.1 devices? Will 8.1 get the improved features?

Perhaps an intrepid WinCen person could pursue this at Build

Here's my take:

HERE will only be available to Windows Phone 8.x phones.

Microsoft Maps will not see any updates on 8.1, only 10. (and it uses HERE data)
