Several flavors in stock at Mouser.

Now I have to wonder why it is that whenever I do a new design, at
least one part goes obsolete before the design is finished. But I can
still buy NE2s by the thousands?

Millions of power bars sold every year still have a neon indicator in
them. They're cheap and they're "green", neon being basically a by-
product of air liquification and fractionation. Think of how much
toxic waste an LED needs to get manufactured.
