The 'stock of parts' might go back as far as etched wafers that haven't been cut up.... Even then it may take a moderate demand to get them processed.
We're have to redesign a board to use a completely different part because the one we were using has gone end-of-life.
Hopefully the replacement will be made for a while. The datasheet for that part is 12 years old.
The designs for both are probably over 20 years old. The TDM E1/T1 interface is about 50. But it is still used.
