The past couple years I've actually been heartened by the other film manufacturing companies out there, as we've been working to stock LIFT's store with options. Even while kodak's offerings are diminishing, there have been a lot of replacement options (many which have been hiding in plain sight). Adox, Agfa (smaller quantities can be ordered through wittner), orwo, foma. Ferrania will be making announcements in mid September, so I look forward to hearing what they have come up with. Although, they need to get in production soon to take advantage of kodak's collapsing of stocks.
The worry, of course, is that certain elements of lab printing and general peripheries (daylight spools, super 8 cartridges) that are largely supported by the volume of kodak's production will start to disappear. Wittner has stated that they have enough super 8 cartridges to last quite a few years, but we're still looking for a good stock of daylight spools. And of course, what will labs do in the next couple years?
