Apple has stopped signing iOS 8.4, making restores and downgrades to the firmware no longer possible.
If you want to stay on iOS 8.4 take care that you do not accidentally update to iOS 8.4.1 because you won't be able to get back to iOS 8.4. If you do update you will not be able to jailbreak your device. Pangu Team just demonstrated a jailbreak of iOS 8.4.1 but it's likely that won't be released in anticipation of iOS 9.

I assume that you are talking about the look of the website. I agree; I definitely preferred the previous look.

Do people still jailbreak? I am curious if many find time for it anymore.

Some continue to jailbreak to gain more control over their devices. For example, a jailbroken iPad allows me to watch my media and sports more easily while traveling.

It's more like Jailbreakers are planning their releases around apples updates

Is it just me or is it pretty clear that Apple is planning the release, signing and not signing of its firmware around jailbreaks now? Is Apple supporting jailbreaking now? Certainly not officially but sure seems that way.

Yeah, Apple has always given about a week or two or over laps between the newest firmware and the second to newest firmware
