For what it's worth, if spooky does go under, I'll do whatever I *legally* can to make sure all your machines don't become paperweights. Understand that the two reasons we encrypt images are A: liability, and B: preventing access to the raw IP given to us by the license holders. Much of the spooky crew is all for openness and right to repair, and in a perfect world (where one did not have to worry about lawsuits) encryption wouldn't need to be used. With that said, freely providing recovery images for future releases is (while I'm not guaranteeing anything) something I will be looking into.
