"There is a big conceptual difference between a "rest" and a "permanent cancellation." Something that is "resting" will at some point come back. That's almost certainly not what we're talking about here. "
OK, I think I understand. When you said "trouble is", you didn't mean there was any trouble. You meant to say "truth is". I agree with you, that Rivendell models that get phased out rarely get phased back in. You surprised me by calling that "truth" a "trouble", because I know as well as you do that you won't be buying any Rivendells nor will you be handwringing over any Rivendells being discontinued. The only one I can think of is the Legolas. You can buy a nice new Legolas today, and it looks exactly like a Legolas of years ago, and there was a multi-year rest in which you couldn't buy a Legolas. They can't promote it because of that lame Tolkein estate business, but you can get it.
