Can anyone confirm this very sad news?

Kodak Infrared Films to Wind Up
It had only to be a matter of time before Kodak cleared the infra-red
films out of the inventory, and the cut off date for obtaining
supplies is set as the end of May '07. Both black and white HIE and
the false-colour Ektachrome Infra-red are to be discontinued. While
many photo materials have been dropped by Kodak, infra-red has a
unique place, and there is no direct replacement from any other
manufacturer for either of these materials, especially the colour
EIR. Depending on perceived demand we may try to stockpile to some
extent, but as the EIR at least will need to be deep frozen, the
amount we can store will be limited.
Probably a more useful approach will be to get the stockpiling
performed by the end-user, so we will try to work out the most
competitive pricing on these two films when purchased in outer
quantities (10 or 20 films), working on a very small margin to ensure
the maximum film goes out within the time limit. Please check back
after the Easter break, when we should have bulk prices established.
