I think this is a basic misunderstanding of the rhetoric. "The last of the through-hole kits" does not imply that the K2 will (or will not) be abandoned. It simply implies that NEW TO THE MASS MARKET kits will probably not be of the through-hole variety. Google on "kits" or something similar and you will find very many small outfits that sell kits of the through-hole type or kits with limited numbers of SMD components. For the larger markets, there are just too many cost-saving aspects to the use of SM devices for it to be practical to ignore them.
