I do not deliberately limit the number of anything sold. I will make 
as many as I can get parts for.

BUT all analog parts are disappearing on a daily basis. Through 
hole parts in general are doubling in price each year. If it is 
analog, I would not wait to get it. The CA3080 was just 
discontinued by Intersil, and I am forced to make a lifetime buy 
soon.

Analog parts are less profitable to manufacture than digital, so 
there is an incentive for parts manufacturers to make them 
disappear.

It is because analog works at higher voltages than digital. The 
silicon dies have to be larger because of the higher voltages, so 
it takes more silicon to make analog parts than digital.
