In which case you'd better stock up with lots of 60w bulbs at the same time
before they get withdrawn as well :-(

It aint that bad, OSRAM have started to do direct halogen replacements
for GLS bulbs, Sainsburys sell them. They consist of a halogen capsule
lamp inside a secondary bulb with a BC or ES cap. They take a little
less power, 42W for the same output as a 60W.
