The faucet can be disabled for any reason (maintenance etc) but the there should be announcement of it on stake.com to avoid unnecessary rumours.
If they plan to shut the faucet there is nothing wrong as it was created initially for awareness and to test and the platform, they are giving away coins for active users and to participate in their activities and it is the best promotion if you are visiting the site to gamble and since they are established they do not need collectors who are active in the site to collect the free coins

. I might be wrong as i have not participated in any freebies but spent some time in stake when i was active in their campaign and since i usually do not post much for the minimum withdraw amount i usually spent time with some of the games and it was fun.
