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.
