All:

Just got an e-mail from Mouser that some parts I had ordered
in the past were about to be discontinued (as obsolete)
by the manufacturer.

Few suppliers bother with this level of service.

It's fairly common practice among the various distributors. They
expect you to panic at the thought of having to redesign your product
for a different part. You then purchase a huge number of the soon to
be obsolete parts, so that you're not stuck dealing with the greedy
obsolete parts jobbers. In other words, the notice that the part is
about to become discontinued is a very effective sales pitch.
