That sucks. I was going to start experimenting with that IC more seriously.
I hadn't before because I assumed it would be obsolete soon. I didn't
think it would be this soon!!!

At least there is the 13700 still. With the right circuit I actually
prefer these over any specialty IC for VCA circuits.
But...it's just a matter of time before these are gone, too.
Time to go discrete.
